Nervi
Nervi is a quieter seaside district on Genoa's eastern edge, known for its clifftop seafront promenade (Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi) carved into the rock above the water, and for a cluster of historic villas and parks that once belonged to wealthy Genoese families. The parks now form a large green public space with rose gardens and museums.
The promenade itself is one of the most scenic coastal walks in the Genoa area, with views out to the Ligurian Sea and none of the crowding found on some of the more famous Cinque Terre trails.
It's a good half-day escape from central Genoa's dense urban core, offering both a walk and a museum stop if desired.
