There is a combination of a park, a museum of lighthouse, and a 360 lookout from the top. But be sure, there are a lot of stairs without elevator and you will not be allowed to visit the very top with light. This sight is pretty far from the historical center. The path by foot is not so easy, you can shorten the journey via subway, a bit.

Very interesting history. Getting up there requires climbing over 200 steps and a decent level of fitness. Views are alright though not super special.

А visit to La Lanterna is a must when in Genoa. It is the world's third oldest lighthouse (rebuilt in 1543). Now it is a military zone and there is a security check at the entrance, but you can climb up to the panoramic terrace, which is in the middle of the lighthouse. There are 179 steps to get there and no elevator for tourists. The view is worth the climb though! There is also a small museum about the history of the lighthouse with photos, paintings and artifacts, it’s interesting and informative.

It was a unique experience, as it was the first ever time I have been to the lighthouse and could actually climb to the viewpoint. The entrance fee is 8€ per person and I find it to be reasonably priced. You can walk around the lighthouse (open-air museum), inside the lighthouse construction with plenty of information, and then climb to the viewpoint inside the lighthouse itself. Unfortunately, it's not possible to climb to the top but even the half-way view point has a magnificent city and sea view.

Torre della Lanterna was built in 1543 and is known as the symbol of Genoa. Lanterna keeps seafarers safe at all times, allowing them to steer ships to safe ports. This 120-meter (394-foot) tall building is in the hearts of Genoese people, and when they see it, they know they are at home. Considered the third oldest lighthouse in the world, no visit to Genoa is complete without a visit to this iconic lighthouse. Inside the lamphouse is a museum that records the history of Genoa, an important port city in Italy.
