Take a break Genoa
Cafés are generally open from 7am to 9pm, while those in seaside resorts close later, especially in summer, when they can stay open until midnight or later. As for ice-cream parlors, in season they stay open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. or midnight. Indeed, in Italy, any time of day is a good time to indulge in a bar or café. Like many Italians, Genoese like to have breakfast at the counter between 7 and 9 a.m., but also to stop mid-morning for an espresso. The same applies after lunch, and throughout the afternoon, both in town and on the beach. In the evening, the aperitivi ballet starts at around 6.30pm and goes on until 9pm.
