Palazzo Ducale:
through hundreds of years of history, lived as the seat of the Republic’s rulers and home to the Dogi family, the “Palazzo Ducale di Genova”, after ten years of restructuring work, is not just a historical building, but an “intelligent” structure, centre of ideas and the city’s cultural and social initiatives.

 

Acquario di Genova:
the largest aquarium in Europe: 71 tanks that reproduce marine, lake and land environments. The aquarium has 600 species with over 6000 specimens of fish, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds and invertebrates. A visit to the aquarium is an emotional journey into the immensity of the sea world discovering the friendly seals, the intelligent dolphins, the awkward penguins, the disquieting calm sharks and the sweet young sea puppies.
You can also take a “behind the scenes” look at the work that goes into up-keeping the Aquarium.

 

La Lanterna:
The monument that symbolises the city, over the centuries it was used as a signalling tower, with armed guards, and a stage for tightrope walkers and even a prison.
Today it is simply the “Lanterna”: symbol of Genoa, a special lighthouse that identifies the city. 76 meters tall it consists of a tower on two arrangements of square sections made from natural stone coming from the caves of Carignano, with a terrace jutting out at the top of both arrangements.
