Why go up to Bigo — Ascensore panoramico (Porto Antico)
Bigo — Ascensore panoramico (Porto Antico) is a scenic viewpoint in Liguria, in the Genova · Porto Antico area.
The white arms over the Porto Antico were designed by Renzo Piano on the model of a ship's crane. One of them lifts a round glass cabin that turns slowly above the docks: the old town climbing the hill on one side, the harbour and the sea on the other. Short, unusual and right where the city meets the water.
