How to reach Genova

1. By train: train stations Genova Brignole and Genova Principe connect Genova to all main Italian cities. We suggest to stop at Genova Brignole, which is NOT the main station, if you are heading to the Math Department (see above).

2. By plane: Genova airport is connected to the city of Genova via the shuttle bus VolaBus (~30 mins); tickets for this shuttle can be bought via the AMT Genova app, and will give you access to the full bus system for 24 hours from validation (Ticket with credit card >> MET Daily 24 Hours (10€ )). Another (cheaper) option is to reach Genova Sestri Ponente train station by local bus (~5 mins from Genova airport) and then the city of Genova by train; for this option you need to buy only one ticket via the AMT Genova app (Ticket with credit card >> Integrated Metropolitan Area (2,20 €)), and the ticket will be valid for 110 minutes.
