How to Get to Stadio Luigi Ferraris #

The stadium is roughly a 10-15 minute walk from Genova Brignole railway station (the nearest main station).

Tips for Visiting Stadio Luigi Ferraris #
- If you're attending a match, arrive at least 60-90 minutes before kick-off to clear security, soak up the atmosphere and avoid last-minute queuing at the turnstiles.
- Use public transport rather than driving - Genova Brignole station and local buses serve the Marassi area best and parking around the stadium is very limited.
- Check the two home clubs (Genoa CFC and Sampdoria) for official ticketing and any tour availability before you go; stadium tours and ticket sale windows can be intermittent, so prebooking avoids disappointment.
Best Time to Visit Stadio Luigi Ferraris #
