With a hilly city like Genoa the easiest way for visitors to travel around is by the Funicolari e Ascensori di Genova. Using this transport system will give you the chance to get fabulous panoramic views all over the city. The Granarolo, which leaves from Principe to Granarolo funicular, is a fascinating ‘rack’ railway. It connects the station area of Porta Principe with the Palazzo Doria Pamphily which stands in a high area above the city.
