During the high season, such as the Easter holidays and the long weekends of April 25th and May 1st, the seats fill up quickly: if, upon your arrival, you find a queue at the entrance to the car park, so as not to lose your reservation for the visit, we recommend you go to one of the alternative parking areas near the Aquarium, indicated on the map (attiva).

We also inform you that, not far from the Porto Antico Area, there is the Dinegro interchange car park from which, using the subway, you can reach the Aquarium in 10 minutes.

In this regard, we point out that, until July 31st, the Genoa metro will be free every day from 10.00 to 16.00 and from 20.00 to 22.00.
