Maybe it’s always been your dream to visit this pretty little principality, or maybe you tacked on a visit to your trip through Europe, but regardless of your travel plans, Genovia is an incredible destination to visit. Read on for some travel tips!
- Firstly, you should know that the people of Genovia have a lot of love for their queen. Be careful to always remove a hat if you’re wearing one while the national anthem is playing, or if you’re lucky enough to see the royal motorcade go by!
- Somewhat related to the above: there are some mixed feelings about the succession of the new princess, so tread carefully in any political conversations that may arise with the locals about this.
- When visiting, you absolutely must try a traditional green-foods meal, especially if you’re visiting over one of their national holidays!
- Also not to be missed: a castle tour at the Palais Royale–you might be lucky enough to glimpse a member of the royal family!
- Don’t skip out on history while you’re there–the country has a FASCINATING origin story and their first queen, Rosagunda, was a badass.
- Genovia is quite a wealthy country, so it can be a bit expensive to visit. Plan accordingly! Also, both English and French are spoken throughout the country.
- When packing, bring warm-weather clothing and don’t forget your bathing suit. The average year-round temperature is 24º.
