City weekend planner
A Ligurian route planner for fans who want one matchday at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, the oldest ground still in use in Italy, and a Genoa city weekend around it.
Start with the match that would justify the trip on its own. Everything else should be close enough, cheap enough, or flexible enough that the weekend still works if kick-off times move.
The Stadio Luigi Ferraris in the Marassi district is shared by Genoa and Sampdoria, opened in 1911 and still English in feel with steep, close stands. Check which club is at home before you book.
Genoa rewards a slow build-up day around the old town, the port and the caruggi alleys before the roughly 20-minute walk up to Marassi from Genova Brignole.
If the calendar is awkward, widen the search by rail along the coast or toward Turin and Milan before forcing an impossible double.
Use this as a concrete map pin, then check Genoa for context before picking a fixture.
Italian grounds require a named ticket tied to ID, and Ferraris fixtures can be higher demand than casual visitors expect, so verify availability and ID rules on the club's official ticket site before paying. Footbeen does not sell tickets; it helps you plan the trip and keep the match, stadium and city in your football record after you go.
