Shipping to Genoa and Liguria
Genoa is Italy's busiest port, on the Ligurian Sea, and the main maritime gateway for northern Italy. It serves Liguria and is the closest port to Turin and Milan.
Practical tips. Choose Genoa for consignees in Genoa, the Italian Riviera and Piedmont, including Turin. The city is squeezed between the mountains and the sea, and its old centre, one of the largest medieval districts in Europe, has very narrow lanes (caruggi) where trucks cannot enter; plan the last stretch with a small vehicle.
For household goods, Italian citizens returning home present a consular certificate of return, and foreigners show their residence registration. Commercial importers need an EORI number.
Genoa is also the home of Italy's largest shipping companies and an important cruise port, so local forwarders handle many international consignments every day.
