The ideal time to visit La Lanterna, which is the iconic lighthouse of Genoa and a symbol of the city, is during the late spring, specifically from April to June. During these months, the weather in Genoa is generally mild and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). This is the perfect climate for climbing the lighthouse's 172 steps to the first terrace and enjoying the panoramic views without the discomfort of the high heat or the large crowds that can occur during the peak summer months.
Another excellent period to plan your visit is in early autumn, from September to early October. During this time, the summer crowds have dispersed, and the weather remains warm and agreeable, often staying within the 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) range. The reduced number of visitors allows for a more relaxed experience. Furthermore, these months often coincide with European Heritage Days, during which La Lanterna sometimes participates, offering a unique opportunity to explore not only the lighthouse but also its museum and the surrounding park with special events or guided tours.
