While the red bus stays central, you can use your HOHO ticket combined with the Navebus (public boat) to reach Pegli in the west.

The Park

Villa Durazzo Pallavicini is not just a garden; it's a three-act play. Designed in 1840, the path takes you through "Hell", "Purgatory", and "Paradise".

  • Highlights: The Chinese Pagoda, the Temple of Diana on the lake, the artificial caves.

The Journey

Taking the Navebus from the Aquarium pier is a tour in itself, showing you the massive industrial port from the water before landing in the "Riviera" vibe of Pegli.
