Visit Genoa from above! You’ll have a unique view of this unique city from the 45 meters high Wheel: roofs, steeples and ancient towers ... the port with its lights and its ships … the Lanterna … the sea and the infinite sky tinged with a thousand colors at sunset giving a magical atmosphere.

Spianata Castelletto

Reviewed By U8248AVstephanieb - Charlotte, United States

I walk up here every morning after breakfast when we are in Genova to enjoy the view. It's a nice walk (but steep!) and you can walk some more when you get up to Spianata Castelletto or you can sit on the benches and enjoy the view. Take the lift if the steps up are not your thing. This is a must see if you are in Genova.

Torre Aurora

The medieval Torre Aurora or Dawn Tower separates the old part of Monterosso from the new part (Fegina).

Reviewed By lynnm154

Torre Aurora is one of the things that you will see when you hike St. Christopher Hill in Monterosso. Take the stair way that goes up the hill between the old town and the new town. At the top of the hill there will be a statue of St. Francis, Capuchin Monastery, and the back entrance to the old town. Excellent hike and spectacular views. The Torre Aurora is a private residence and one of 3 remaining towers out of an original 13 that were erected as lookout towers.

Lanterna di Genova

Built in its present shape in 1543, but originally in 1128, the Lanterna is 77 meters high and rises on a rock of 40 meters in height. Therefore it rises 117 meters above sea level. Its beam of light is projected for more than 50 kilometers.

Reviewed By Experience406894 - New York City, United States

Having researched the history of this lighthouse prior to our 7-day cruise on MSC Seaview on our second visit to Genoa, or Genova in Italian, my wife and I walked all the way from the Genoa cruise port to this light house and paid 6 euros each person to get inside this lighthouse for a closeup personal experience.Both locals and tourists like us appeared to be attracted to this lighthouse first built in the 13th century and rebuilt in the 16 century. I would recommend Lanterna to everyone who is physically able to walk there (for about 30 minutes) to get a step-by-step approach to it. The lighthouse contains a small museum about its history and opens itself up to the middle level of the lighthouse for climbing. Everyone, elderly and toddlers, appears to be determined to walk up the stairs, as we did. As our cruise ship was pulling away from Genoa, I took many photos of Lanterna to remind myself that I had personally visited that oldest working lighthouse in the world, still in prime shape!
