Calling all wannabe sailors and aspiring sea captains. The Galata Museo del Mare in Genoa offers 12,000 m2 of exhibition space covering man's longtime relationship with the sea. The building itself is the oldest surviving construction in the dockyard of the old Republic. It's a worthwhile attraction for anyone interested in the ocean, immigration, and the history of Genoa.
The Biosphere is a stunning glass sphere close to Genoa's Aquarium in the Old Port. Known affectionately as 'The Glass Bubble' it was designed by superstar architect Renzo Piano for the July 2001 G8 Meeting. This tropical paradise is home to over 150 species of plants, as well as a rainforest that protects numerous birds, butterflies, and reptiles.
The Bigo Panoramic Lift is part of the Aquarium, situated in the middle of Genoa's Porto Antico. Bird's eye views of the harbour and everyday life will put your Genoa time (and maybe your whole life) into perspective.
The second-tallest lighthouse in the world (if taken as a whole with the natural rock formation from which it protrudes), the Lighthouse of Genoa is an emblematic landmark of the city, and one of the area's top cultural attractions, affording glorious views across the seas and the rooftops. Constructed in 1128, it is also the third-oldest lighthouse in the world.
The Rolli Palaces are located in the historical centre of Genoa and consist of 42 beautifully decorated palaces that were once called home by visiting VIPs in the 16th and 17th centuries. The 'Rolli' were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. Rather than one single site, the palaces are spread out. Some are privately owned while others now house banks or offices.
