Milan to Genova

Ever seen an Italian Coastline? If you are ever staying in Milan City Centre, for about a two hour bus ride and 25 euros, you’ll be in Genova before you know it.

Our time in Genova in a nutshell:

• Bus departed Milan City Centre at 10 am, arrived in Genova around 11:50 am.

• Walked around and saw some of the most famous history spots which included; Spianata Castelletto, Via Garibaldi, & Piazza Corvetto.

• Then took a Taxi to the beach (Uber’s are not available unfortunately.)

• Spent a few hours on the beach of Punta Vagno. Note: the beach is all rocks, no sand, meaning BRING SANDALS.

• Had a local lunch at a nearby hotel, located right on the water, and met a lot of fun locals (and their dogs, hehe.)

• By that time, it was time we headed to the train station to make our way back to Milan.

• We took ItaliaRail which took an extra hour , but on the plus side the countryside of Italy was phenomenal!

Few Fun Facts about Genova:

• It is Genova in Italian, Genoa in English.

• Genova is Italy’s leading port.

• Pesto Sauce was born in Genoa (original name Pesto Alla Genovese.)

• Blue Jeans were invented in Genova!

Keep In Mind:

• Very FEW shops/restaurants are open due to COVID.

• If you do not have a vaccine card (or green pass in Italy,) you can not dine inside.

• They are strict on face masks, so make sure you bring extra.

• Have Euros, as stated earlier there are no Uber’s, meaning Taxi’s are the only option.

If you ever have the chance to visit Genova, I highly recommend it! As always there will be plenty of pictures below. Any comments/questions please DM me on Instagram, or send me an email. Tata for now XOXO
