Soggiorna
Arrive by train and you step out inside Camogli; arrive by car and you need to decide beforehand where to leave it, because spaces are few, all paid, and the rules differ from one area to the next. The prices below come from the Town of Camogli's tariff sheet, published by the tourist office and read on 10 November 2026.
By train
The station is called Camogli-San Fruttuoso and is on the Genoa-La Spezia line. According to the tourist office, Genoa is about twenty minutes away, La Spezia about an hour and Milan a little over two hours.
Tickets are sold at the station machines, in tobacconists, in the Trenitalia app and at the Pro Loco at Via XX Settembre 33, which also sells Intercity and Freccia tickets and has left luggage.
Train + boat on one ticket
Trenitalia sells San Fruttuoso Link, a single ticket for the train and the Golfo Paradiso boat. You buy it by choosing "Punta Chiappa" or "Baia di S. Fruttuoso" as origin or destination: on top of the rail fare you pay 8.50 euros for San Fruttuoso (6 euros for children) and 5.75 euros for Punta Chiappa (3.50 for children), for each one-way trip from Camogli. The boat on its own is bought at the harbour ticket office: times and fares are in the Camogli guide.
By car
The motorway is the A12, exit Recco: Camogli is about two kilometres from there. On the Aurelia road, drivers from La Spezia turn off for Camogli just after Ruta; drivers from Genoa turn off in the centre of Recco.
Car parks and what they cost
Prices for non-residents:
| Car park | When you pay | Per hour | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Via G. B. Ferrari | every day, 8-24 in summer time and 8-20 in winter time | €2.50 | €25 |
| Former station goods yard | every day, 8-20 | €2.50 | €25 |
| Piazza Matteotti (Theatre) | holidays and the day before, 8-20 | €2.50 | €25 |
| Via Ruffini (former Pisoni area, Gulliver supermarket) | every day, 8-20 | €2 | €15 |
| Via Molfino | holidays and the day before, 8-20 | €2 | €15 |
Three things to know before choosing:
- In Via Ferrari, during summer time, the tariff sheet shows "free parking" on Wednesdays from 8 to 13. From 1 December to 6 January the summer-time rates apply, so you pay until midnight.
- In Via Ruffini supermarket customers get one hour free, with a zero-cost receipt.
- In Via Molfino and Piazza Matteotti the sheet lists charges only on public holidays and the days before them.
The boat operator suggests that drivers use the car park before the village, by the Gulliver supermarket, or the one in the village close to the Hotel Cenobio dei Dogi.
For campervans and coaches there is the area on Via Aurelia at Alega, paid every day from 8 to 24: the sheet lists 7 euros for caravans.
By bus
The routes are run by AMT:
- 773: Santa Margherita Ligure - Ruta - Camogli - Recco;
- 775: Rapallo - Ruta - Recco - Genova Brignole;
- 973: San Rocco Park - Via Castagneto Seia - Migliaro - Piazza Schiaffino - Camogli station.
The 973 is the one to take up to San Rocco if you would rather skip the 900 steps of the mule track. Tickets are sold at the Pro Loco, in tobacconists in the centre, at the machines in Camogli and Ruta and in the AMT app. Timetables change with the season: check them on the AMT site the day before.
By air
The handiest airport is Genoa Cristoforo Colombo. The tourist office lists as alternatives Pisa, well connected by rail, Milan Linate, Milan Malpensa and Bergamo Orio al Serio.
Getting around once you are there
The village is for walking. The taxi rank is at Via XX Settembre 1. For Punta Chiappa and San Fruttuoso you take the boat from the harbour, or you walk: the routes are in Camogli and San Fruttuoso: itinerary.
If you are staying in Camogli
Before booking, ask your accommodation whether it has a parking space or an arrangement, and how far it is on foot from the nearest car park: with the daily maximum at 25 euros, three days in Via Ferrari cost as much as an extra night. If you have the choice, come by train.
