Acquario di Genova

Fodor's Review:

Europe's biggest aquarium, second in the world only to Osaka's in Japan, is the third-most-visited museum in Italy and a must for children. Fifty tanks of marine species, including sea turtles, dolphins, seals, eels, penguins, and sharks, share space with educational displays and re-creations of marine ecosystems, including a tank of coral from the Red Sea. If arriving by car, take the Genova Ovest exit from the autostrada. Entrance is permitted every half hour and the ticket office closes 1 1/2 hours before the aquarium.

  • Cost: EUR 14
  • Open: July and Aug., daily 9 AM-11 PM; Sept.-June, Mon.-Wed. and Fri. 9:30-7:30, Thurs. 9:30 AM-10 PM, weekends 9:30-8:30
