Located just beneath Piazza de Ferrari, Piazza delle Erbe is a quaint little square with tables where several bars serve food, beer, and wine to both locals and travellers. The square comes alive at night, particularly on Fridays, when many young locals gather here with their friends, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere.
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. On weekends, closing time is extended to 2 am, and many places offer DJ sets on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Nightclubs are generally located outside of the city centre, along the magical Ligurian Riviera.
