Storage and bag rules at the piazza and villa

Piazza del Principe is a plaza in Genoa (https://stasher.com/luggage-storage/italy/genoa) that takes its name from the adjacent Villa del Principe, the 16th-century Renaissance villa and former private residence of admiral Andrea Doria that now functions as a museum.

The Villa del Principe museum is open every day from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, with the last admission at 5:00 pm, though it closes on 1 January, Easter Sunday, and 25 December.

Getting to Piazza del Principe with your bags

The nearest metro station to Piazza del Principe is Principe station on the Genoa Metro, which is integrated with the railway station and accessible via a tunnel from the railway station area. The Doria/Metro Principe bus stop sits about a 1-minute walk from the piazza, while Genoa Piazza Principe station itself provides lifts and barrier-free routes to platforms. A single integrated urban ticket costs €2.00 and is valid for 110 minutes on buses, the metro, elevators, and funiculars, so you can move between train, metro, and bus on one fare while keeping your bag with you.

Onward from the piazza: Palazzo Reale and the Aquarium

The Palazzo Reale (Musei Nazionali di Genova) is a 5-minute walk, roughly 300 metres, from Genoa Piazza Principe station, making it an easy stop if you're changing from train to metro anyway. From the same station, the Acquario di Genova can be reached on foot in 10 to 15 minutes.

Reaching the airport and Brignole station

Genoa Brignole station serves Frecce high-speed trains, Intercity services, and Trenitalia regional trains, so it's the hub for longer-distance rail journeys through Liguria and beyond. From there, the Volabus airport shuttle departs directly from Piazza Verdi to connect with Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport.

The Acquario di Genova — the largest in Europe, with roughly 10,000 specimens of 400 species — is a major draw for travellers passing between the two stations, while Palazzo Ducale is accessible for visitors with disabilities from its entrance on Piazza De Ferrari, with elevators and other aids available.
