Getting Around

The AMT bus network is generally considered the best way to get around in Genoa. There is also a network of trains that connects the Brignole train station to the town centre and the Stazione Principe (main train station), but it isn't as comprehensive. Tickets are available from newspaper kiosks or stations.

AMT's public boat service is called Navebus and it connects Porto Antico to Pegli, offering good views of the city. Driving is often said to be the fastest way to get around Genoa, but finding a parking space can be a nightmare. Visitors who opt to hire a car in Genoa will find it easiest to park outside the city centre, as most attractions are within easy walking distance of one another.
