Aquarium of Genoa
AttractionGenoa & PortofinoAbout 2.5 hours
The largest aquarium in Italy, on the restored old harbour, and the one thing in Genoa that everyone with children ends up doing. Two to three hours and busy at weekends. The harbour around it — Renzo Piano's rebuild of the waterfront — is worth the walk on its own.
