Harbour Cruise

The harbour is the feature that dominates the city. A cruise in the harbour affords a good view of the skyline, harbour bustle and the Lanterna lighthouse.

Funicular Railways

The steep hills around the seafront provide ample opportunity to take in great views. One railway operates at Granarolo, and the other at Casteletto Belvedere.

Acquario di Genoa

The largest acquarium in Europe, styled like a sailing ship as it was built in commemoration of Christopher Colombus.

Cathedrale di San Lorenzo

The Cathedral sports black and white striped bands on its façade, and houses some treasure accumulated from the days of Genoa’s glory days as a major sea power.
