The Metro In Genoa
The Metro in Genoa is only small, but it got me out of trouble. There had been a lineside fire and everybody was taken off the train from Rome at the Brignole station, rather than the main one at Principe. There was no information at the station and I eventually found a friendly concierge in a hotel, who told me to take three stops on the Metro.
It is only a small system, but it covers the main parts of the city centre and goes to the sites I wanted to see on my overnight visit.
I actually could have used it more, as it also ran from my hotel to the restaurant I found on the Internet. But the hotel concierge felt it best I took a taxi, despite the station being about thirty metres away.
Compared to some metros I’ve used throughout Europe and the world, the Genoa metro sets a standard that others could emulate.
