Introduction
Genoa's Old Harbour was reborn from derelict docks into a lively waterfront under the hand of local architect Renzo Piano. The aquarium, the great reconstructed galley Galata, the glittering Biosphere glass bubble and an IMAX cinema sit among promenades and sea breeze, weaving a leisure paradise. It is the microcosm of Columbus's birthplace rediscovering the sea, and a superb spot for families and a relaxed stroll.
