Trains: Taking a train to Genoa - improvised
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': TO
    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: I had spent the previuos night in Milano and when I woke up I had not decided if I was heading towards the sea I had never seen or towards the mountains that I had found to be the most beautiful I had ever seen.

    Towards the sea I went. From Milano to Genova I took the train. Just remember - even if you are an American the little British flag on the automated ticket purchase system denotes English. You don't have to be British in order to push this button, you just have to share their tongue.

    It was a two hour train ride through wonderful country. None of my coach mates spoke English but somehow I got confirmation that I was in the right seat. Very few people in Italy speak English - but I had also just flew in from Holland and everyone speaks English there.

    We rose along the tracks into the Appennino Ligure and back down into Liguria. We passed small Roman ruins with no one around them - not much of a novelty here in Italy.

    From Milan to Genoa will cost you about 13 Euros one way. Save yourself the confusion - you are going to Stazione Principe in Genoa, one of several train stations that feed into Genoa but the one you want to get to from Milano.

     I REALLY enjoyed these pages. Your style of writing is delightful and so much fun to read. You certainly absorb the culture, don't you? All around great...both text and photos.

     I found the prostituti - but they did not say prego. I found few spoke Italian. Two stations in Genoa is confusing, isn't it?
