We had a fun afternoon at Porto Antico, which has been developed into a lively city venue very similar to Baltimore's Inner Harbor to be enjoyed by local people, not just tourists. Besides the Aquarium, there are lots of restaurants, a historic galleon, and nearby historic sights to see. More

Definitely, a landmark to visit. A good place to take pictures. If you pass by, make sure you visit the Aquarium and buy a pesto genovese sauce at Eataly! More

I think the place is nice, clean and not difficul to be found. But in a so large space, I would have expected more initiatives for visitors and citizens also arranged by municipaklity. I have never met lot of people (even in summer period) More

Lively waterfront area with great port views. I would advise checking out this area during the daylight hours and being careful to safeguard one's camera, wallet, etc. More
