There are two train stations in genoa, Brignole and Principe.

I believe there is bus service between Brignole (and possibly Principe) and the Genoa airport which is about 7 Km out.

Your train may very well arrive at Principe; I am sure others will comment further.

Hi Jenny - The Airport Shuttle Volabus service leaves hourly from Piazza Principe Station - journey time: approx. 20 mins
Fare: € 4.

Here's the link:

Hope this helps ...

"There are two train stations in genoa, Brignole and Principe."

There are actually 12 train stations in Genoa, with 2 main train stations located in the center of Genoa.

I took a bus from Brignole to the airport, but now I don't seem to find the info for that bus route on the website that Steve has given. Maybe it's best to take a train all the way to Principe, rather than getting off at Brignole. Then take the bus from Principe since it is sure to run from there.

Otherwise, take a taxi from Brignole or Principe. That's what I usually ended up doing. I actually took a taxi from Genoa Nervi where I used to live, and it wasn't too expensive and much more comfortable than the bus. I only took the bus once.
