Christopher Columbus House Tour

At the time of your choice, we'll meet inside of the Christopher Columbus House for a guided tour. You'll learn about one of the most important figures in world history.

Located in the center of Genoa, near Porta Soprana and outside the ancient medieval walls, this reconstructed building is where the navigator lived during his youth with his father.

During the visit, we'll examine historical data and papers documenting when Dominic Columbus, the father of the explorer, moved into this house in 1445. This will be a journey back in time.

Inside, the house features a museum with objects, maps, navigational instruments, documents, and letters of the explorer, who crossed the Atlantic to the Americas. The first floor served as a workshop, and a loft with wooden beams separates it from the upper area, which contains private rooms.

After an hour of exploring the historical house, we'll conclude our visit back at the entrance of the Christopher Columbus House.
