Find train tickets →Genova Brin or De Ferrari metro station → Stop Dinegro then bus 93/94 to Vittorino
💡 AMT ticket valid for 100 mins across metro + bus. Validate in metro turnstile first, then on bus. Villa D’Albertis is uphill from the bus stop – a 5-min walk with no pavement on the final bend, so not ideal with heavy suitcases.
Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA) → Villa D’Albertis (Corso Dogali, 1/M)
💡 Drivers often drop you at the lower gate on Corso Dogali – saves the steep walk up from the bus stop. Tip €2-3 if they help with luggage.
Genoa Airport (outside Arrivals) → Piazza Principe (main train station)
💡 Get off at Principe, then switch to bus 93 or 94 (direction via Fanti d’Italia). Get down at 'Vittorino' stop – Villa D’Albertis is a 2-minute walk uphill.
Genoa Airport (Volabus to Brin station) → Piazza Principe (then same bus: 93/94)
💡 Cheaper if you buy a combo ticket at airport newsstand – includes Volabus + 1 regional train leg. Not much faster than direct bus, but useful if bus is full.
