Among the many attractions of the Ligurian capital, the Aquarium of Genoa is certainly the most famous. Below you will find a series of useful information to help you organize your visit.
Â
The Genoa Aquarium is easy to reach. Here are all the necessary directions.
Exit the freeway at Genova Ovest and follow the signs. First you will take Via Milano and then Via Gramsci. Before an underpass, turn right to reach the parking lot. The signs along the road, however, are numerous and very precise.
If you arrive from Ponente (west) the bus to take is n°1. From Levante, instead, the n° 13.
Alternatively you can use the subway and get off at San Giorgio or Darsena.
Get off at the Genoa Piazza Principe Station and you can reach the Aquarium on foot in about 10 / 15 minutes, by bus n° 32 to the terminus in Piazza Caricamento or by subway to the San Giorgio stop.
If you arrive from Genova Brignole Station, you can take bus n° 13 to the end of the line in Piazza Caricamento or the subway to the San Giorgio stop.
