🤑

Genoa is relatively affordable, with moderate prices for food and accommodation. However, shopping can be expensive, especially in the city center.

For cheaper shopping, head to street markets such as Mercato Orientale. To save on food costs, opt for local specialties like focaccia and pesto instead of upscale restaurants.
