Trail Reviews
City tour through Genoa. The suggested route comes directly from komoot. You might be able to save yourself the detour around Brignole train station. However, it provides glimpses of the real Genoa away from the tourist attractions. Only about 15 degrees, cool breeze and occasional rain showers. A metro with 8 stations runs straight through Genoa and is free from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A day ticket for public transport costs €4.50 per person. The city is strongly influenced by industry, the port and logistics. The immediate surroundings are accordingly "authentic". Tourism seems to play a rather minor role.
Rainy day. Too bad to start with a cinque terre walk. Wonderful to travel to Genoa in 1.5 hours by train for just over 10 euros (from Levanto). Genoa is beautiful. Route from the train to the old part is relatively boring to walk. Would choose a bus. Tickets can be ordered in advance via trainline.
