ITINERARIES

Desiderio. One of the fortifications from which it is possible to begin a beautiful tour is Forte Sperone. You must go from San Desiderio to the Brignole station by the bus 86, you pass the garden in front of the station walking in the direction of the sea until the bus stop on the big avenue that have 4 lines (Via Cadorna), in west direction. From there you can take the bus number 20 or 30 until Largo Zecca, from where (behind the bus stop) you must get on the funicular Zecca-Righi. At the end of the funicular, you keep the left direction and you continue the road going up. Each crossroad you must follow the main road that goes up. Arrived at the Parco Peralto, after a landing for helicopters, on the right it begins the path to the fortifications (the red line on the map; in purple all the neighbours where it is possible to go down). In alternative it is possible to choose a different tour, the oriental way of the fortifications, arriving with bus number 86 till Borgoratti (via Sapeto), going up till Chiappeto and continuing (line blue on the map) to the Forte Richelieu and Forte Ratti, then finishing your tour in Bavari, from where it is very comfortable to reach up San Desiderio or Pomà.

For a shorter tour (one-two days) the tour of the Genoa’s

fortifications is fantastic, leaving from the center of Genoa and walking on

the top of the mount crown around Genoa.

The itinerary allows whenever you want to get down to a neighbour of the city, where you can take the bus to the center of the city for coming back to San
