In the old harbor area of the city, the aquarium covers more than 3,100 sq m (33,000 sq ft) and welcomes more than 1 million visitors each year.

  Well was so beautiful, I think a bit expensive but once you have to go and see it! Great experience for all ages, for kids and everyone! Takes a few hours to go through definitely. Try to get a combination ticket with a maritime museum. Great deals online too! Have fun and thank you for the aquarium of Genoa!✌🏻🥰

  Not the nicest aquarium, but overall nice facility. I really enjoyed seeing the Mantis! Was the first time I saw some in person, the Dolphin aquarium was also pretty cool. The admission was a little pricey at 30€ per person. We spent 2 hours at the site, I couldn’t imagine spending more than 4 hours here.
