Going to the lighthouse we expected an experience where we would be able to enjoy the view of the city without any stress. Getting to the lighthouse on foot from the city center entailed a walk through the industrialized harbor area with little shade and poor directions that make you wonder if you made a wrong turn. When we got the pathway to the lighthouse itself, our bags were searched and we paid 8€ per person for entry. Arriving at the foot of the lighthouse itself we were told that we had to go through the open air museum before we were allowed to enter the lighthouse itself, upon completion of this (admittedly pointless „museum“) we got into the lighthouse and the museum dedicated to its history. This was interesting and educational until we had to figure out how to get to the unmarked stairs for the ascent. Once we finally got to the top of the lighthouse, the views were good but not spectacular as we could only access the first panorama plateau, the second one was closed,

The Lanterna is the symbol and beating heart of Genova, a vibrant and astoundingly beautiful city. The view from the Lanterna is breathtaking.

That was disappointing. Walked all that way along the port and the gate was locked. It can’t be that hard to keep the attraction open 7 days a week. It’s a lighthouse for goodness sake. Oh well we did get close, see the photos. And, did get to see the Porto.

Non è la prima volta che visitiamo Genova, ma la visita al simbolo della città ci mancava. Interessante ed istruttiva, ci ha dato un nuovo punto di vista sulla vita e sulla storia della città. Nota piacevole la competenza, la gentilezza e la giovane età del personale .

Luogo storico, ben tenuto e suggestivo , consigliato per trascorrere una giornata diversa in Liguria e poi da lì si può proseguire per visitare la città

Severi ma professionali.ottima gestione da parte dei volontari e personale.tutto pulito e ben curato.soldi ben spesi.in cima alla lanterna aggiungerei qualche indicazione in stile mole antonelliana x identificare i siti in città

la domenica mattina prima di lasciare la città decidemmo di andare a vedere e visitare la lanterna, un faro bellissimo e ricco di storia per la città, il sentiero che porta al faro e accessibile e ben tenuto sotto alla lanterna vi è un bel giardino dove è già possibile vedere la città dall'alto, al piano terra ce un museo che parla del faro e la sua storia con la città poi per chi può ci sono 172 scalini che portano a metà lanterna li ce una terrazza circolare dov'è possibile ammirare tutta genova a 360 gradi

Come ogni faro molto affascinante, percorso all'aperto con vista del porto, museo con diversi reperti interessanti (qualche spiegazione in più non guasterebbe). Bella la salita al faro, anche se solo per metà altezza, sarebbe interessante poter arrivare fino in cima.

La “Lanterna” è il simbolo della città di Genova. Di fatto è un faro, ma è assolutamente vietato ( da parte dei genovesi ) definirlo così: bisogna chiamarlo LANTERNA. Purtroppo non ho avuto tempo di visitarlo e salire in cima: mi riservo di farlo la prossima volta che verrò a Genova.

Veramente bello Consiglio assolutamente di vederlo..... per arrivare bisogna fare 174 gradini, è un po' faticoso ma ne vale la pena Bello anche il giardino ed il piccolo museo interno
