Turin to Genoa covers 170 km through the Ligurian Apennines — a route that connects Piedmont's industrial capital with Liguria's port city. The regional train is the fastest and cheapest option at around 1h 30m from €5. This is a lesser-known route with no Frecciarossa service, but Trenitalia runs frequent intercity connections throughout the day.

Train from Turin to Genoa
Trenitalia operates Intercity (IC) and regional trains on this route. The IC trains are faster (1h 30m) and require a seat reservation (around €3 extra); regional trains take slightly longer but often have open seating. Both depart from Torino Porta Nuova, Turin's main station.
Which Genoa station? Trains serve two main Genoa stations:Genova Piazza Principe (northwest, closer to the old port and historic centre) and Genova Brignole (east, closer to the new city and Piazza De Ferrari). Most trains stop at both — check your ticket for the order.
Booking: Tickets from €5 are available at trenitalia.com or at ticket machines in the station. Advance booking saves money on IC trains; regional trains have flat fares that don't vary with booking time — you can buy on the day.
Bus from Turin to Genoa
FlixBus runs coaches on this route, typically taking 2–2h 30m via the A26 motorway. Buses depart from Turin's bus station (Autostazione) on Corso Inghilterra, near Porta Susa railway station. In Genoa, buses stop at Genova Brignole.
The bus is a reasonable alternative when train prices rise on busy dates. With advance booking of 2+ weeks, bus fares of €7–12 compare well to IC train fares of €10–20. However, given the short journey time, the train is usually the better choice overall.
