Step by Step
Enjoy the best of Genoa with a double experience perfect for the whole family: the Genoa Aquarium, the largest aquarium in Europe, and the Galata Sea Museum, the largest maritime museum in the Mediterranean. This combined ticket gives you skip-the-line access to both attractions and allows you to organise your visit at your own pace.
The tour starts at the Genoa Aquarium, a space that houses more than 70 tanks with ecosystems from all over the world. From manatees to rays, sharks, jellyfish and dolphins, you'll have the chance to get up close and personal with these amazing species. The aquarium is designed like a ship moored in the harbour, providing a unique and immersive atmosphere.
After exploring the underwater world, your adventure continues at the Galata Sea Museum, where you'll learn about Genoa's pivotal role in European maritime history. Tour replica galleys, visit a reconstruction of a 19th century Italian migrant ship and immerse yourself in over 40 interactive stations filled with historical content, cartography and antique nautical artefacts.
One of the highlights of the visit is the entrance to the Nazario Sauro submarine, anchored next to the museum. Climbing aboard will allow you to understand what life was like for the crew and to experience the confined space of these vessels. The visit ends with a breathtaking view of Genoa from the museum's terrace.
