Genoa International Airport is the largest in the picturesque coastal region of Liguria and is located just 6 kilometers from the main port of Northern Italy. Over a million and a half tourists annually arrive through the Genoese air gate, wishing to relax on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, visit the magnificent palaces of the 16th century and the old city, founded before Christmas, to try seafood and the best drinks from the fertile region.

The airport building was erected in 1954 and after modernization in the 1980s, became the owner of the longest runway in the region (3065 meters) on an artificial peninsula. Fans of shopping will appreciate the great selection of shops in the airport building named after the world famous traveler Chrysophor Columbus. In the vast area of duty-free trade, you can buy souvenirs from the trip, new fashion houses, local products and household goods. The terminal also offers the services of car rental leaders, travel agencies, banks and a first-aid post.

The same ticket can be used for another half hour (a trip to the center by bus takes 30 minutes) for travel by public transport around the city.

The rented car will allow you to see the most beautiful places of the Ligurian Riviera, choosing it in advance on the website, you can pick it up at the car rental point at the airport.
