What's the best way to get from Genoa airport to our hotel in Monterosso - cab or train?
Train is obviously the cheapest option but I don't know if I'd appreciate the 2.5 hour train ride and schlepping our bags after a long flight. As for the cab, a little more convenient but pricey. Are you able to book one ahead of time? Should we wing it and look for a cab at the airport when we get there or should I use the itTaxi app?
Would appreciate help from anyone who has done the trip!
Well, getting anywhere from the Genoa airport is a challenge! But since the train station is right there I would recommend train. Depending on time & day you can have as little as a single train change. Instead of a cab you may want to look into a car service instead. You could inquire with your hotel to see if they could recommend a driver/service that will drive up to the airport to pick you up and return to Monterosso. That would be better than hoping to find a cab at the airport that would be willing to drive you. I would expect to pay at least €70 for the drive there. Train would be about €30. But the drive is about an hour less and less stressful.
