Travelling with Pets in Genoa

AMT operates 140 bus lines, 1 metro line, 3 funiculars, and 10 public elevators — the integrated answer to Genoa's vertical geography. A single ticket (€2.00) is valid for 110 minutes across the entire urban and provincial network. Small dogs in a closed carrier travel free; larger dogs need their own ticket and must wear muzzle plus leash on board.

Genoa has two main rail stations — Brignole and Piazza Principe — both served by Trenitalia regional and high-speed services. Direct trains to Milan (1h35), Turin (1h50), Pisa (2h00), Rome (4h15) and Cinque Terre (1h00). Small dogs and cats in a closed carrier travel free; larger dogs need a half-fare 2nd-class ticket and must wear a muzzle and lead.

Genoa's compact international airport sits on a man-made peninsula 7 km west of the centre, with a Volabus shuttle to Piazza Principe (30 min) and a railway station (Sestri Ponente Aeroporto, 5 min) for onward Trenitalia services. EU pets enter Italy on the standard EU pet passport with valid rabies vaccination — no quarantine.
