Once past the tracks, take via Caterina Rossi which will lead you to <strong>via Sestri<\/strong>, the pedestrian artery and the commercial hub of the district. Via Sestri is a continuous passage of people between shops, bars and street food. You can stop in the shadow of the plane trees in<strong> Piazza Baracca<\/strong>, a melting pot of generations under the Nostra Signora Assunta basilica. Opposite the church, on the other side of the square, is the charming \u2018music stage\u2019 built in 1871. Via Sestri ends in Piazza Poch at the entrance to the park of <strong>Villa Rossi<\/strong>, where you can stroll through the greenery and see the 17th-century villa where the famous Empress Sisi stayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may seem strange to say in an urban context, but <strong>Sestri Ponente can also be the starting point for a day of trekking<\/strong>. From here take the number 172 bus to the hospital, then continue on foot as you take <strong>Via Domenico Oliva<\/strong>. Cross the railway, and the tar will make way for earth and stones as it turns into a path. The walk to the top of <strong>Mount Gazzo<\/strong> (419 m, around 1 hour) is not too tiring, but it is not very relaxing either, so be prepared (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidadigenova.it\/en\/genoa-routes\/sestri-ponente-excursion-mount-gazzo\/\" class=\"ek-link\">go to this path and others Sestri Ponente&#8217;s hiking trails<\/a>). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A route to visit on foot the Sestri Ponente district, Via Sestri and the park of Villa Rossi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":158,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[6],"class_list":["post-157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-routes-video-tours-genoa","tag-west-genoa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sestri Ponente, Genoa Airport<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Itinerary on foot from the airport to visit Sestri Ponente, a west district of Genoa.
