If you are starting from the city center, head to the 'De Ferrari' metro station. Take the Metro Line 1 (the yellow line) towards 'Brin'. Get off at 'Darsena' station. Once you exit the station, follow the signs towards the Porto Antico. You will find yourself in a beautiful waterfront area.

From the central area of Genoa, you can catch a bus from 'Piazza De Ferrari' or 'Piazza della Vittoria'. Look for bus lines 1, 3, or 20, which will take you towards the Porto Antico area. Get off at the 'Aquarium' stop. From there, you only need to walk a short distance to 'Ponte Spinola'. The Biosfera will be visible as you approach the bridge.

Walking

If you prefer to walk and enjoy the sights, start from 'Piazza De Ferrari', the main square in Genoa. Head towards 'Via XX Settembre' and continue until you reach the waterfront. Then, follow the promenade along the Old Port (Porto Antico). This scenic route will take around 20-25 minutes. As you approach the end of the promenade, look for signs directing you to 'Ponte Spinola', where the Biosfera is located.
