Top Attractions in Genoa
💡 Climb the narrow stairs up the gate tower for a view east over the rooftops—it's free but the staircase can be tight, so go early to avoid queues.
💡 Take the public lift from Piazza Portello (€1.50) up to reach it in 2 minutes instead of climbing the steep steps. Best for sunrise—few tourists, more locals with dogs.
💡 Sit on the steps of the Galleria Mazzini arcade (left of the fountain) to people-watch. Free guided tours of the nearby Palazzo Ducale courtyard happen on some Wednesdays—ask at the tourist info desk inside.
💡 Take bus 31 from Piazza De Ferrari to Boccadasse (€1.50) or walk 30 minutes east along the coastal path. The best free spot is the viewpoint at the top of the steps after the church—sunset is stunning.
💡 The entrance fee is €5 for adults—free on the first Sunday of the month. Allow 1.5 hours. The insect room has a preserved giant tarantula that kids love.
