Prices for Vacation in Genoa
As a rough estimate, consider four expense categories: visa, airline tickets, accommodation, and dining. Let's try to calculate the cost of a vacation in Genoa:
By European standards, the cost of accommodation in the city is average. You can rent a bed in a hostel during the low season for around 12-15 EUR, while a room in a good 2-3 star hotel would cost around 40-50 EUR. In the city center, it's possible to find accommodation for 70-90 EUR per night, and for example, at the 5-star Savoia Hotel (near the railway station), the most budget-friendly rooms start from 110 EUR.
Average Lunch Bill
In the best restaurants in Genoa, the average lunch bill would be no less than 70-80 EUR. In family trattorias and affordable restaurants, you can have lunch for 15-25 EUR. The cost of a cappuccino in cafes and bars ranges from 1 to 5 EUR, and you can buy a pizza for 6-15 EUR. You can also take advantage of the menu fisso system, where for 10 EUR you can get a salad, pasta, and a drink of your choice. It's better to buy fruits at local markets, where in summer you can find peaches (around 2 EUR per kilogram) and watermelons (0.5 EUR per kilogram).
If we base the calculations on reviews of vacations in Genoa, a minimum of 15 EUR per person would be required for excursions (such as a city sightseeing tour). Additionally, for 20 EUR, you can take a boat trip to small resort towns in Liguria, such as Camogli or Portofino (departing from Porto Antico). The boat stops in each town for 30-90 minutes.
So, how much would a vacation in Genoa cost? Taking into account approximately 400-600 EUR for visas and airline tickets, medical insurance (around 1 EUR per day), minimal expenses for transportation (for example, 6 EUR to get from the airport and an additional 5-6 EUR per day for buses), you can expect to spend around 1200-1500 EUR for a one-week vacation for two in Genoa.
