Discover Genoa’s Skyline with the Bigo Panoramic Lift

Perched at the heart of Genoa’s vibrant port district, the Bigo Panoramic Lift offers a memorable vantage point that unveils the city’s historic charm and contemporary life. This unique lift, designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano, is easily recognized by its crane-like white arms that echo the maritime heritage of Genoa. Fast track entry guarantees you more time amid the clouds and less time waiting on the ground.

A Unique Engineering Marvel

The Bigo Panoramic Lift was inspired by the old cargo cranes of the port and stands as an architectural icon. Its spacious, circular cabin features large windows that provide sweeping, uninterrupted views of Genoa’s magnificent skyline, and guests can enjoy a gentle rotation that ensures every visitor sees the city from all angles.

360° Views of a Historic City

Once aboard, the lift gently ascends, carrying you above the rooftops for a bird’s-eye perspective of one of Europe’s most historical urban landscapes. Take in the maze of narrow ‘caruggi’ alleyways, grand palaces, and the bustling port that has defined Genoa for centuries. On clear days, the panoramic vision stretches from the distant hills to the Ligurian Sea, making it a perfect experience for photographers and sightseers alike.

Fast Track, Stress-Free Visit

With fast track entry included in your ticket, you’ll avoid the main queues—essential during busy times or if you’re on a tight schedule. The entire experience lasts around 10 minutes, making it ideal for a quick yet unforgettable stop during your exploration of Genoa’s Old Port and Aquarium area.

Accessible and Family Friendly

The Bigo Panoramic Lift is fully accessible to wheelchair users, and its brief duration makes it suitable for families with young children or anyone looking for a comfortable sightseeing option with spectacular rewards. Staff are available to assist and answer any questions about the views or the operation of the lift.
