Erasmus in Genova

This was my first erasmus. I decided to go to Italy like almost every girl who has spent hours in searching of charming streets and food on Pinterest.
I arrived in the middle of February in 2017. My flight was early in the morning. It arrived in Milano before noon. After that I had to take a bus to Milano Centrale and from there a train to Genova. I always try to be on time, that is why I am usually minimum half an hour earlier, I recomend you to take with you some magazines, a cup of coffee and just to enjoy your time until the next transport.
When I arrived in Genova I was really excited. My landlady came to take me from the station and we took a taxi to my future accomodation. It was a typical italian old house in Centro Storico (via Vico Vegetti). I met my future roommates, who showed me the neighbourhood. The streets are really small there (Vicolo - alley - refers to streets barely big enough for pedestrian or scooter traffic.) It was near my university (UNIGE Architettura) and near to Cattedrale di San Lorenzo.
Before I become borring let me just share my favorite places:

To visit:
- Porto Antico
- Boccadasse
- All the little streets in Centro Storico (Don't worry if you get lost in the first two months. Just go in a direction to the coastal street)
- Acquario di Genova
- Piazza De Ferrari
- Cattedrale di San Lorenzo (Take a notice to the black and white stones. It's something really typical.)
