Christopher Columbus House Tour

At the time of your choice, we'll meet inside of the Christopher Columbus House for a guided tour. This experience focuses on one of the most important figures in world history.

Located in the center of Genoa, not far from 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 and papers documenting the arrival of Dominic Columbus, the father of the explorer, to this house in 1445. This offers an insight into the past.

Inside the house is a museum featuring objects, maps, navigational instruments, documents, and letters of the explorer known for crossing the Atlantic to the Americas. The first floor served as a workshop, while a loft with wooden beams separates it from the upper private rooms.

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