Why go up to Spianata Castelletto (belvedere)

Spianata Castelletto (belvedere) is a scenic viewpoint in Liguria, in the Genova · Castelletto area.

The balcony of Genoa: a tree-lined esplanade above the historic centre, reached on foot or by the public lift from Piazza Portello. From the railing the city reads like a map: grey slate roofs, bell towers, the Lanterna and the ships in the harbour. Free, always open, best towards evening.
