From the highway

Time: unpredictable! Our advice is: if possible, avoid coming to Genoa by car, not only because it is more pleasant to visit it on foot or by bicycle, but above all because parking is really rare and expensive!

Our hostel has also activated an agreement with a Carsharing service that will allow you to easily reach any destination inside and outside the city center.

If you really can’t do without your car, the solution we suggest is this:

  • Exit at Genova Est;
  • At the first crossroads turn left;
  • At the traffic lights turn left again;
  • At the next crossroads take the bridge on your left: in front of you you will see the monumental cemetery of Staglieno, where you will find one of the few large and free car parks in the city (excluding championship days, due to the match at the Marassi stadium);
  • Once you leave the car, take the bus number 34 (the stop is right next to the cemetery, in via Piacenza) get off at the square stop of the hatch and from there follow the same indications of the route number by bus reported at the point “Stazione di Genova Brignole “.
