Bars & Nightlife

Genoa has a lively nightlife, thanks to the vast number of students who attend the city’s university. During the week, bars, wine bars and pubs are popular — many of these are quite small and people tend to hop from one to another as the evening progresses. Typically, bars open at around 6 pm for Italian aperitivo and remain open until approximately 1 am.

Nightclubs are generally located outside of the city centre, along the magical Ligurian Riviera.
