Christopher Columbus House Tour

At the time of your choice, we'll meet inside the Christopher Columbus House for a guided tour. This tour focuses on the life of 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 was where the navigator lived during his youth with his father.

During the visit, we'll review historical data documenting when Dominic Columbus, the father of the great explorer, moved into this house in 1445. The tour provides a journey back in time.

The house also features a museum with objects, maps, navigational instruments, documents, and letters of the famous 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 section, which contained private rooms.

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