An incredible 360° view
The Bigo panoramic lift was designed by the Genoese architect Renzo Piano. It offers a fantastic view of the old town centre, one of Europe’s largest and richest in arts.
The Cabin
The lift is equipped with an audio system and boards in Italian, English, French and German illustrating steeples, towers and characteristic slate roofs, together with modern and old buildings, emerging from the maze of allays (known as “carruggi”). The explanations about the history of the area of the Old Port and the town centre are accompanied by a pleasant background music.

Biosfera
A "drop" of steel and glass suspended over the sea, which hosts vegetable and animal species coming from tropical forests threatened by human exploitation. You will be able to view them from close, admire their fragile beauty and understand how their survival also depends on you.
Acquario di Genova
Acquario di Genova, which has been expanded by adding the internal section "Tropical Garden – Un Battito d’Ali” (Wings flapping), has the most extensive range of aquatic biodiversity in Europe in terms of number of tanks and hosted species.
Every year, new areas and new species coming from endangered environments wait for visitors to experience time and again both emotional and educational moments.
