Genoa Liguria, Italy Travel Guide
Genoa’the city's public transportation network, managed by AMT (Azienda Mobilità e Trasporti), has a comprehensive network. It comprises buses, a single metro line, funiculars, public lifts (ascensori), and even an unique rack railway. Given Genoa's hilly landscape, the incline railways and lifts are not just tourist attractions; they act as a practical part of everyday life for residents.
