D'Albertis Castle

This castle is easy to access from the city via the Montegalletto Lift - which is unique in itself. It houses a museum of Cultures of the World with many treasures secured from earlier times as well as some more modern pieces. Garden views over the city are pretty special and can be taken in freely if the museum is not your thing.

Interesting museum of Captain D’Albertis’s collection from his travel, as well as other exhibits of world artefacts and items with lots of explanation. Something a bit different to do in Genoa, and a cheap entry price for how much there is to see in there. Lots of interesting objects, furniture, art etc., including specialised areas from Asia, Africa, South America, and their significance in the Captain’s life/exploration.

Interesting castle with artifacts, a captain collected over the course of his life. We came on a Wednesday around 2pm and were the only patrons inside.

A pleasant place to relax with a beautiful garden and a wonderful view of the castle. A magnificent program over Genoa.

Lovely well kept castle with interesting museum. We loved it very much.

I'm not sure if this is a "hidden gem" or if everyone knows about it, but it was certainly quiet when we went. Surrounded by a beautiful garden with spectacular views across Genoa harbour, Castello d'Albertis was by far my favourite attraction in Genoa (and I went to the aquarium, which is also fantastic). A huge and fascinating collection of artefacts collected from around the world, with a wonderful display of modern and graphic art on the ground and first floor. The cafe was also cheap and good quality. We loved looking at the literally hundreds of oddities and learning about the man himself. A definite must-see if you're in Genoa.

Beautiful castle on the hill overlooking Genna with a superb view. Inside, there are lots of interesting exhibits from around the world and pretty architecture throughout the castle. You can also enjoy some light food and drinks at the café before or after the visit. Reasonable entry at €6 for adults. Highly recommended and definitely worth the climb!

Wonderful place to visit and chill. Bus routes go right up outside the door of the castle. Beautiful nature stops and fantastic views of the city below. The castle itself is very well built and has lots of cool items and paintings. Don't worry if you have bags. They can be left safely behind the main desk as you travel through the castle.
