Genoa

Getting Here

By car, take the Genoa Ovest exit off the A12 and take the upper bridge (sopralevata) to the second exit, Genova Centro-Piazza Corvetto. But be forewarned: driving in Genoa is harrowing and is best avoided whenever possible—if you want to see the city on a day trip, go by train; if you're staying in the city, park in a garage or by valet and go by foot and by taxi throughout your stay.

Regular train service operates from Genoa's two stations.

Stazione Principe. Departures from Stazione Principe travel to points west. Piazza del Principe, San Teodoro, Genoa, 16126.

Stazione Brignole. Departures from Stazione Brignole go to points east and south. All the coastal resorts are on this line. Piazza Giuseppe Verdi, Foce, Genoa, 16129. 892021.
