“L'acquario di Genova è sempre affascinante. Peccato l'esperienza negativa col parcheggio (2 ore di coda). È assurdo dover segnalare l'orario di ingresso se c'è l'incognita del parcheggio. Mi hanno comunicato che entro 2 ore si può entrare e se non si riesce si perde il biglietto! Pazzesco. Ottimo il menù panino al bar”
