Combined Ticket: Acquario di Genova and Lanterna of Genoa
Acquario di Genova
The Aquarium of Genoa hosts the most extensive range of aquatic biodiversity in Europe. The exhibition gallery consists of over 70 exhibits and about 12,000 specimen of 600 species, from all the seas of the world. From the rarest species such as manatees – marine mammals that may be at the origin of the legend of mermaids – to the most famous ones such as dolphins, penguins and sharks – the great predators of the sea; but also jellyfish, seals and multi-coloured tropical fish species. Come with us in a journey that will fill you with a range of emotions and inspire you to respect deeply the sea and its extraordinary inhabitants.
Lanterna of Genoa.
Visit the monumental complex of the Lanterna, the symbol of the city: go through the walking path of 800 metres facing the port, leading to the open air museum. You will have the opportunity of enjoying Genova on the panoramic terrace.
