A pleasant historical place. Everything is very functional. There is a McDonald's for fans. The staff is always ready to help!! Even considering the language difference. Very comfortable. Comfortably. And it's nice. 🙏🏼
Open up to 24 hours. Then it's unclear. You can only sit outside. There are only 8 (!!) seats inside. McDonald's is starting to hint at closing at 21 o'clock.
It's a little unpleasant at night if you go outside the station. A lot of homeless people, beggars.
But the police are inside, it's safe.
A large and convenient train station, located near the port and the city center. There is a metro station and a bus stop nearby, one of my favorite railway stations
The convenience of the station lies in walking distance from the port and the ability to get to the airport. Christopher Columbus on the bus. Searching for information about the bus on the Internet suddenly became difficult. The Volabus bus follows the route Brignole Railway Station - Principe Railway Station - Christopher Columbus Airport. Therefore, the bus arrives at the station with passengers. But there should be enough space. Payment is made by the driver, you don't have to look for the cash register. The bus stop is located in the center of the forecourt among other city buses. You should focus on his stand with a schedule. The photo shows the schedule for June 2019, so you should check the information for the current date. Although the station itself is called Piazza Principe, it is located on Piazza Acquaverde. Piazza, of course, is a square). There is also a monument to Christopher Columbus on it. Genoa and Barcelona have not been able to share a navigator for more than 500 years).
Like all Italian train stations, it is wildly cold in winter, since the doors do not close and the wind always blows, plus metal seats that are just opposite the doors.
So a tip - if you are planning a trip in autumn/winter, come right to the departure of your train.
Otherwise, it is convenient, the ticket office is right at the entrance, the track system is clear, train schedules are at every step, there are many cafes (but, of course, prices in cafes, as always at train stations, are very high).
Near the entrance to the metro and intercity and city buses.
