Mantente conectado mientras navegas desde Port of Genoa

Just a short walk from the cruise dock, begin with the Porto Antico. There, visit the Genoa Aquarium, home to dolphins, sharks, and diverse marine species across a vast 27,000 square meter space. 

Walk along the waterfront walkway by the Biosphere (a striking glass globe filled with exotic plants), the Bigo elevator offering stunning port vistas, and Palazzo San Giorgio, which is a historic medieval structure that now serves as the port authority’s headquarters.

Stroll for 10-15 minutes to Piazza De Ferrari. There you will find Genoa’s lively main square with its bronze fountain, flanked by the Doge’s Palace (former rulers’ residence with grand halls). Continue to Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, a striped Romanesque-Gothic cathedral from 1118.

Strada Nuova is a UNESCO-listed street and is lined with opulent 16th-century palaces like Palazzo Rosso, Bianco, and Doria Tursi, all former homes of Genoa’s elite, now museums with art by Rubens and Van Dyck.

If you prefer excursions, Portofino or Cinque Terre are just 1-hour bus/train away, and definitely worth a visit.
