"Bird's-eye view of Porto Antico Built in 1992 for the Columbian Celebrations, the Bigo was designed to stylistically resemble the cranes that have been used for centuries to load and unload goods in the Genovese harbor. At a cost of only 4 euros, a trip up this'rotating glass elevator is a great way to get a panoramic view of the old port area. In the summer months, the Bigo stays open til 11pm - a gorgeous way to see the lights in the surrounding hillsides."

A great experience and some spectacular views all long the way up and especially when you are all the way up. It’s a quick elevator ride and you get 360 degrees, unobstructed views of the city and port. You can spot the historical and iconic structures of the city and they are displayed inside the elevator as to what direction to look for to spot each of those. You could spend about an hour for the whole ride but definitely worth the experience, especially on a nice sunny day.

Very beautiful spot with a view of city and the harbour with all the ships and cruises. Really interesting to see the design and history of the port. It's a very old port and the engineering and architecture in building this port is really amazing! Really nice to visit this place when you explore Genova.

Great experience by the near of Porto antico. You can observe all the city from 40 meters above. The locked cabin rotates 360 degrees and it allows you to see all around the old city and port. It totally coats the price.

7 minutes of Nice view. I don’t want to imagine in summer time when the weather outside is hot..no air conditioning available inside!!! And today was hot, we had a free sauna while enjoying the view. I bought the ticket online as a combo with the acquarium and the biodiversity Maybe I was lucky..no waiting line, but when get busy no priority line. If there’s a line you need to wait for your turn.
