"Sunset over the Mediterranean Perched high above the old port, Castello D'Albertis boasts some of the most gorgeous panoramas of the ancient town and the old port. On most days, you can spot every single cruise ship in harbor, too. While there is a public elevator (ascensore, in Italian) that takes you up (catch it on Via Balbi), you can also climb the stairs (and burn off some of your focaccia calories!). Find the stairs just after the abandoned Cathedral on Via Balbi - and then just keep walking up!"

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.

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.

High above Genoa, this neo-Gothic castle offers a journey across continents and centuries. Once the home of explorer Captain D'Albertis, today it showcases treasures from around the globe. A green garden surrounds the museum and offers stunning view over Genova and the sea. If you want to take some rest after, you can have a coffee under the shadow of the palms and greenery for the best ending of your visit. I recommend!

A wonderful pallazio with very nice rooms and an amazing view of the city..However the exhibition is difficult to value, since everything is in Italian. Also, not very interesting for kids. If you're visiting Genova for two three days it's not a must-see but if you're visiting for more and have some time to spend, it's a nice suggestion.

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.
