Marseille vs. Genoa
If you had four nights to spend in either Marseille or Genoa, which would you choose and why?
They seem similar in many ways so I thought this would be an interesting discussion.

I would not spend 4 nights in either but a full day or two. I've done both several times and Genoa to me wins but Marseilles is nicer and nicer all the time. You can join the French Foreign Legion in Marseilles if you get tired of it.

I call these questions fish or meat.
Do you prefer meat or fish ? on mondays or on fridays ?
Anywy, I'd choose Marseille because I can find bouillabaisse and they speak French. Or maybe not, I prefer Genoa, they have pasta and they speak Italian, it sounds more like holiday and less like work.
Or maybe Marseille finally, the port is very nice. But Genoa has a nice aquarium I think.
Hmmmm. Maybe I can change my mind on friday ?

I was just reading this blog today (of another Fodors forum member) and there are heaps of photos of Genoa on this post. Just scroll down a bit for Genoa.
