The "Cristoforo Colombo" airport, over 1 million passengers per year and it’s the fastest and most spectacular way to approach Genoa: the landing strip 29/11 is 3.025 metres long and it is almost entirely surrounded by the sea. Landing on strip 29 gives the opportunity to enjoy a dramatic view of Portofino and of the whole town of Genoa from the sea, the plane flies low over the city and it nearly touches the "Lighthouse", symbol of the town. At your check-in do not forget to ask for a seat by the window on the right side of the plane!
"Cristoforo Colombo airport " is in Genova Sestri Ponente just a few kilometres from the city centre, which is easy to reach via many connections.
