About this experience

Book City Sightseeing Genoa hop-on hop-off tickets and explore Italy's great port city without the hassle. Choose a 24 or 48 hour pass and ride red London-style tour buses with panoramic windows between Genoa's most popular sights, from Piazza Caricamento and the historic harbour to the city's galleries and museums. Buses run every 20 to 30 minutes, and an audio guide in eight languages, free Wi-Fi and a sightseeing app are included. What can you see on the Genoa bus tour? The tour starts at Piazza Caricamento, by the old harbour, and links the city's main areas on its routes, including the historic route and the coastline route. You can hop off near the Aquarium, explore the narrow streets of the historic centre, visit galleries and museums, and enjoy views of the port, the city known as the gateway to the Mediterranean. The audio guide is available in English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, so you can learn as you travel between stops. What is included with your ticket? Your ticket includes unlimited access to the hop-on hop-off buses for the length of your pass, the audio guide, free Wi-Fi on board, the free Sightseeing Experience app, and a paper route map available on the buses. A full loop takes about an hour, and the first service starts at 10:00. Entry to attractions is not included, so book the Aquarium or museums separately if you plan to go inside.

If you choose the 24 hour priority ticket, show it at the Cruise Terminal stop on Via Fanti d'Italia or at the City Sightseeing Visitor Centre near the Aquarium stop to receive a priority wristband. With the wristband, you can board before other passengers at any stop for the full length of your ticket. Times can change, and some stops may be moved temporarily because of street closures, so check the map and timetable you can pick up on the buses.
