The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Genoa, Liguria
Wandering the narrow caruggi alleyways of Genoa is a bit like solving a medieval labyrinth. In the heart of the Italian port city lies Piazza de Ferrari, a main square with a beautiful fountain and a perimeter lined with historic buildings, including the Palace of the Doges the Teatro Carlo Felice, which was destroyed during WWII and subsequently rebuilt. The seaside neighborhood of Boccadasse is vision of pink and yellow buildings that brighten up this lovely fishing village.

Discover the wonder inside you in the spectacular esoteric park of Villa Durazzo Pallavicini! The Pallavicini Park of Pegli was built between 1840 and 1846. Designed by architect Michele Canzio, at the behest of Marquis Ignazio Alessandro Pallavicini, it is an outstanding example of an Italian and European romantic historical garden. A unique aspect of this garden spread over 8 hectares of hills is its theatrical structure featuring esoteric and Masonic nuances and making every visit a historical, cultural and botanical experience steeped in meditation, philosophy and panoramic scenes. A walk through the park offers views abounding with lakes, streams, waterfalls, garden buildings and furnishings, rare plants, the most ancient collection of camellias, glimpses of views and ‘scenic tricks’ capable of seizing the external scenery and of almost endlessly stretching the borders of this “magical” place. Services: bistro, special guided visits, audio guides in 6 languages

The Acquario di Genova was built on the occasion of the Expo ’92, a celebration of the fifth centenary of the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus, with the intention of restructuring and enhancing an area full of history and traditions, located in the heart of Genoa’s historic centre, the Porto Antico (the old port). It’s the biggest aquarium in Europe.

This a lovely place to visit during a trip to Genova, I spent my first evening in Genova here and was amazed watching the sea life and animals and seeing all the different species in the Aquarium. The exhibitions are organised very well with a lot to see and plenty of information available to learn everything there is to know about sea life from different countries. There are also snakes, lizards & birds to see and areas with games designed just for kids like an interactive “Make your own fish” area. My favourite part was the dolphins which you could easily sit and watch swim for hours!
