Review & FAQ:

The Aquarium of Genoa is Italy’s largest aquarium and the second largest aquarium on the European continent. There are more than 70 tanks containing more than 1.5 million gallons. It covers 33,000 square feet and sits in the old harbor area of the city. The building was built on the occasion of the Genoa Expo ’92 in celebration of the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ discovery of the New World and, as such, the Renzo Piano-designed building was built to resemble a ship heading out to sea. The aquarium showcases the reefs of the Ligurian Sea, the North Atlantic, and the Caribbean.
