Cool fort to see and hike to but you can't go inside. Really good place for a trip outside the city centre. Amazing views along the way, the fortress itself is also nice to explore. It seems it's oficially unaccesible, but at the time of my visit the doors were open and some warning signs were lying on the ground. Unfortunately, only the ground level was easily accesible. The walk is really close and lovely to do as a weekend activity in Genova. The views are 360 and it's awesome to see the city from above :) Quite a good experience of tracking... spring is the best season to track to the fortress I went with my family for our first hike while in Genoa. My kids are 7 and 11 years old. We had not so warm day which was just perfect. We couldn't take the train to Trensasco due to work but took bus replacement instead. The initial climb was steep but manageable. We explored the grounds around as didn't want to risk wild climbing with kids to the very top of fort. I think we would have to use some cleverly placed scaffoldings etc to do that. Afterwards, we climbed down via zigzag pathway towards train in Righi. It took us a while as at few times path was tricky to follow but there are works going around and occasionally we met runners and dog walkers and mountain cyclists so there are chances to chat if you feel lost a bit or just unsure which path to take. That day was the best day in our kids' eyes, forget boat trip, gelato etc now they want to hike again. The direct hike that leads up the hillside is definitely invigorating and requires supportive athletic footwear, but it is much closer to 30 min rather than the posted 40 min. Park near the charming and well-menued trattoria, use the restroom and maybe grab a snack and a beverage beforehand if you didn't bring any (or definitely dinner after). A truly beautiful way to spend a few hours on a clear and warm day. Wonderful walking tour long the forts of Genoa. Restoration is required unfortunately and strategic exploitation of this marvelous heritage. #magnificagenova A great hike! Not very well marked but google maps shows you where to go! The view is beautiful and being able to climb into the forte to see the inside added a fun element!
