"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."

Very nice food in front of the port. The staff was very friendly, fast and helpful. Especially the girl at the cashier, despite her busy schedule, served me with a smile and was happy to help me with the issue I had with renting a parking space in Florence. I highly recommend this place

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.

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.

Food seems cheap at first sight but the portions are really small. I got a fish plate which cost 22€ and I only got 3 shrimps and 3 small fish filets. So I paid 3,6€ for each one which ist WAY to much. The waiters also take way too long to get your food or even serve you. They aren’t very friendly and seem very uninterested. Also the drinks are very expensive like 4€ for a 300ml Pepsi that’s way too much!!!!!!!!! The only okay thing is the view but the restaurant it self is very dirty and unpleasant. The toilet also had a very long queue and was dirty Also the only reason they have such good reviews is because most of the reviews are about the viewing point( The viewing point is great but the restaurant is horrible). Most of the reviews about the actual restaurant are negative. In my opionion this is a classic tourist trap

was here with a group, good food, great service. I spoke to our waiter about it being our friends birthday, and not only did he bring out a small cake with a candle, he went above and beyond to write happy birthday in chocolate sauce on the plate and make our meal feel awesome!
