What budget to eat Genoa?
In Genoa, you can always find a good place to grab a bite to eat at a low price in a caruggio , or to take your time over a dish of pasta al pesto in a local trattoria. On the other hand, the bill will be considerably higher in the seaside resorts along the coast. If you don't have a big appetite, you can also satisfy yourself at cocktail hour. In fact, almost all bars and even many bakeries offer happy hour with a cocktail or a glass of wine accompanied by plenty of appetizers. You can also enjoy a good gelato at one of the city's ice cream shops.
A coffee at the counter costs between 1 and 1.50 €, a cappuccino between 1.20 and 2 €. Prices rise quickly if you decide to sit down. Count between 4 and 7 € for a squeezed orange, and 1 or 1,50 € for a small bottle of water. An aperitivo will cost you between 7 and 15 €, always accompanied by plenty of appetizers. Some places offer real buffets for the price of a cocktail, and many make it their dinner. For a good ice cream with two flavors, count from 2,50 € to 4,50 €.
What is the budget for accommodation Genoa?
As a general rule, you will need to spend between €50 and €70 per person per day, preferring accommodation in a youth hostel or a 2-star hotel and light meals
If you spend between 100 and 130 € per person per day, you will stay in a nice B&B and have your meals in a trattoria, without forgetting transportation and some cultural visits
If you go upmarket, you can expect to pay from €150 for a very nice hotel, elegant restaurants, visits, etc.
There are a few tricks to avoid breaking the bank. Renting an apartment, for example, will be cheaper than staying in a hotel, especially if you are traveling with your family. Also, going out of season will allow you to save a lot of money on your accommodation and your plane ticket (i.e.: the Boat Show in autumn in Genoa and the months between June and the end of September by the sea are the most expensive periods).
