For slow travelers and food lovers
This is not a sightseeing day. This is an eating and wandering day, and it's the best kind.
Start at Sà Pesta the moment it opens — farinata fresh from the oven, eaten standing up. That's breakfast. Walk through the Caruggi with no particular destination, just letting the medieval alleys take you where they want. Pop into churches, look through open doorways, get slightly lost on purpose.
Mid-morning coffee at DAV Mare Bar — a change of scenery from the old town, right by the water. Then spend the late morning at Galata Museo del Mare, particularly the emigration section and the submarine outside.
Lunch at Il Salumalo — charcuterie, local cheeses, Ligurian wines. A proper slow lunch. After lunch, walk the seafront promenade all the way to Boccadasse. The walk takes about 30-40 minutes and it's one of the most pleasant things you can do in this city. Sit at the beach, do nothing, stay longer than planned.
Evening: walk back along Via Garibaldi as the palaces catch the last light, then settle in at Piazza Raffaele De Ferrari with an Aperol Spritz and watch the city shift into its nighttime mode.
