Biosphere Fast Track Tickets
The Biosphere in Genoa's Old Port is a striking glass dome designed by architect Renzo Piano that houses over 150 species of tropical plants, trees and flowers. This temperature-controlled conservatory creates a peaceful escape from the city, where you can wander through winding walkways lined with towering palms, ferns and colourful orchids from around the world.
Your fast track ticket lets you skip the main queues and step straight into this botanical haven. The dome's elegant design floods the interior with natural light, creating perfect conditions for rare and endangered tropical species to thrive year-round. Small birds and creatures also call this place home, completing the authentic tropical ecosystem experience.
