Description
With this Genoa Aquarium and Christopher Columbus' House combo you can spend a day on two of the city's best-loved sights, and you choose which one comes first. You can also take as long as you like inside each site.
At the Aquarium of Genoa you walk past 70 exhibits showing sea creatures from around the world. Manatees swim behind the glass, penguins can be seen up close, and dolphins and sharks are among the other residents, part of what the aquarium bills as Europe's most extensive range of aquatic biodiversity.
Just outside the ancient medieval walls stands Christopher Columbus' House, where the navigator grew up. You see the ground-floor workshop, climb up to the attic and learn how a boy from Genoa came to sail across the Atlantic.

Remember that the time slot you pick when booking is for the entrance to the house, while the aquarium needs its own date and time reserved on the aquarium's ticket site. It suits families and anyone who likes a mix of nature and history. The sites are not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility impairments.
