Luxury holidays in Genoa

When to go

For crowd-free culture, visit Genoa in spring or early autumn.

Getting there

• Planes

  Genova City Airport is the region’s international hub; Milan Malpensa Airport is a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Genoa.

• Trains

  Trenitalia runs several routes from Genoa Piazza Principe to other Italian hotspots, such as Milan, Pisa and Florence, and along the Ligurian coastline to Portofino and San Remo.

• Automobiles

  If your stay is solely city-based, ditch the wheels. For Ligurian road trips, you’ll want a car to take in the curving coastline, plus France’s border is a two-and-a-half hour drive away.
