Genoa Aquarium
Genoa is home to the Acquario di Genova, which is the
second-largest aquarium in Europe. Built in 1992, it welcomes more
than 1.2 million visitors each year. The ship-like building on the
promenade houses no fewer than 50 habitats, ranging from the Amazon
basin and Red Sea coral reefs to Antarctic penguin pools. Hundreds
of species that call the aquarium home include seals, dolphins,
caiman, piranhas, jellyfish, sea turtles, penguins and sharks. The
aquarium has good English-language facilities and is a fantastic
family attraction in Genoa.
