Getting There & Away
Nervi is 7km east of Genoa and is best reached by frequent trains from Stazione Brignole
and Stazione Principe (€1.50, 20 to 25 minutes).
Pegli
Roughly 9km west of Genoa's centre, flower-filled parks make Pegli a peaceful spot to re-
treat from the urban tumult. Like Nervi, this former seafront village now lies within the
city boundaries of Genoa and, again like Nervi, it has yet more museums. A combined
ticket for all of the following sights costs €8.
