Aquarium of Genoa Tickets
The Aquarium of Genoa stands as one of Europe's largest aquariums, housing an extraordinary collection of marine life in the heart of Liguria's historic port city. You'll walk through expansive tanks filled with graceful rays, colourful fish, fascinating jellyfish and playful marine mammals as you explore detailed recreations of natural ocean environments from tropical reefs to Antarctic landscapes.
This unique ticket combines your aquarium visit with an authentic street food tasting experience. After exploring the underwater world, you'll head to the historic Sottoripa arches near the aquarium entrance, where a local vendor with roots dating back to 1890 serves freshly fried seafood. Your takeaway cone includes local favourites like calamari, shrimp, frisceu (Ligurian fritters) and panissa, a savoury chickpea specialty that perfectly captures Genoese culinary tradition.
