Ferries to Genoa

Arriving in Genoa by ferry is the ideal solution if you want to visit Liguria from Sicily and Sardinia: the journey is certainly slower than flying, but you’ll have the advantage of being able to bring your car and move about freely once you arrive. What’s more, reaching Genoa by sea is a fascinating experience as it brings you into direct contact with the beating heart of the city – its port, which for centuries has been an important hub in European maritime trade.

The ferry terminal is located in central Genoa, west of the Old Harbour and the maritime station from which cruises depart. If you arrive without a car and don’t have heavy luggage, you can walk or take a bus, taxi or the metro (Dinegro station). If you’re arriving by car, you’ll benefit from quick connections to the city centre and all the main towns throughout Liguria.
