"Sunset hike (or elevator ride!) and evening picnic Pack a few slices of focaccia (and a half bottle of prosecco) and head up to Castelletto at sunset for a beautiful view of the lights coming on over the harbor. If you want to walk it (I warn you, it is steep!), take the staircase at the end of Via Garibaldi and just keep heading up. You will eventually come to the Piazza di Castelletto and its sweeping views. If you prefer the elevator for a quick ride, catch it in the Piazza del Portello."

Enter the Galleria Giuseppe Garibaldi tunnel on foot. There's a door in the middle of the tunnel. As you enter, you'll find an elevator directly opposite. This historic, old elevator takes you up to the tunnel. The view is truly magnificent. From the top, you can see the port, the center, and all of Genoa.

Amazing views, if you came in walking be careful going inside of the elevator building they will try to charge you money, the operator was very rude thinking I was evading the fare. Other than that I think it’s worth the hike for the view

Great view of Genova and there weren't that many stairs.

Tourist trap, 40€ fine per person if you didn’t payed ticket for the elevator…
Overbuild city not really a good choice…

The Belvedere Castelletto in Genoa is a scenic overlook offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city and its port, easily accessible by a historic Art Nouveau elevator.

Very nice place to have an overview of the city. There are also some very good ice cream places near there.

After getting off the night bus that arrived in Genoa early in the morning, I had some time to kill, so I went to see the sunrise. The walk to this point was a little steep. We had a great view of the city and finally saw the sunrise. It was a wonderful sight.
When we got off, we used an elevator made of wood. I wasn't sure if it would work since there was no one there, but it did.
I highly recommend going to see the sunrise.
