My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Genoa across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.

Best months: June, July, September — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.

I went to Genoa in June 2023 and was shocked by the heat during the Palio di San Giovanni; it felt like summer had jumped ahead. June averages 24°C, sees 65mm rain, and offers 75% sunny days, with a city pass costing €85. Most guides ignore the €18 one-way ferry fee to Portofino, which is essential for the main attraction.
