Genova is a city in the northwest of Italy, near the French border along the Mediterranean coast.


Hitching out

There are two good spots to hitchhike in Genova, just before entering the motorway.

West towards Nice (France), north towards Milano

Take the petrol station just before motorway. You can reach it taking buses that goes to "Sanpierdarena".

You can take the number 1 bus to the town called Voltri. Just before you enter into the town itself there is an entrance ramp there to the A10 to France and Savona; This entrance ramp also leads to the E 25highway to Milano. I was there 2 hours on July 31st 09, then I gave up. The train ticket from Voltri to Vitimiglia, right on the border with France, was 8 euros.

East towards La Spezia E 80

There is a petrol station near the motorway in the community Nervi. Take the bus 17 from the centre of Genova and get off at the stop Autostrada. The road goes up the bridge and, technically, it's not the highway yet so you can can stand there with your thumb up without fearing the police.

Ferrys

Genova has a big ferry terminal. There are many ferries to Sardinia, but even to Malta, Corsica, Barcelona, Tunis and Tangier.
