Zoological sights in Genoa

  1. A

    Biosfera

    Two of Renzo Piano’s most distinctive new additions to the port are the Biosfera, a giant glass ball housing a humid mini-ecosystem with tropical plants, butterflies and birds; and a panoramic lift, Il Bigo, which hoists a cylindrical viewing cabin 200m into the air. The lift has access for disabled visitors.

    Acquario

    Jutting out over the water, Genoa’s bright blue Acquario has more than 5000 sea creatures, including sharks, swimming in six million litres of water. The adjoining floating barge takes visitors on a voyage through the Age of Discovery and into a Madagascan rainforest. The aquarium has disabled access.
