La Lanterna de Genova
Cultural siteGenoa & PortofinoAbout 1.3 hours
The city's lighthouse and its oldest symbol, standing since the twelfth century in its present form and still working. Reached on foot along a walkway from the ferry terminal, with a small museum and a climb to the lower terrace. Out of the way, and quiet for it.
