Everyone knows Genoa for its Aquarium, the port, and its charming alleys. But what if we told you that Genoa is much more? Like works of art, cities need to be seen from a distance to truly understand their essence. Genoa, more than any other city, must be viewed from above— from a 'balcony' overlooking the rooftops and the sea. From this vantage point, you can grasp the soul of the city and understand why it remains the Proud One.

Are you familiar with Genoa’s natural beauty? Come and discover it in a romantic park nestled among trees, rocks, and a cascading waterfall— a place where poets once sought inspiration. Think you know Genoa as just a port, narrow alleys, and the sea? There’s another side to this city—elegant, romantic, and full of surprises waiting to be uncovered.

Leave behind the usual tourist routes and immerse yourself in the “vertical” Genoa. Take a ride on a historic Liberty elevator to reach Castelletto Belvedere, a unique balcony overlooking the slate rooftops and the Gulf. From there, descend into the secret gardens of Villetta di Negro, an oasis of tranquility among artificial waterfalls and historic caves that once inspired Romantic poets. This tour is designed for those eager to discover the true soul of Genoa—beyond stereotypes.

In less than a minute, you will arrive at the Castelletto promenade, where panoramic views stretch across the historic center, the Old Port, and the shimmering sea.
