About

The Acquario di Genova, the largest aquarium in Europe, invites visitors to explore an ocean of wonders. Its expansive displays feature more than 400 species of marine life, from tropical reefs to polar ice seas, as well as interactive exhibits where guests can meet dolphins and penguins up close. A unique centerpiece is the Biosphere, a glass-and-steel tropical rainforest that illustrates the fragile beauty of Earth’s ecosystems, while the Bigo panoramic lift opens up sweeping vistas of the city. Together, these attractions make the aquarium a must‑visit destination for families, wildlife lovers, and curious travelers alike.
