In Piazza Dinegro, at the exit of the Genoa metro station of the same name and a few minutes from Stazione Piazza Principe, the Park & Ride Dinegro Lot 1 offers 145 surface bays with direct access to the underground line running into the city centre. 24/7. Base tariff €0.50/h, combined AMT day-pass €10, free for annual AMT season-ticket holders. Run by Genova Parcheggi S.p.A., this is the single largest interchange car park in the City’s P&R network and the most convenient entry point for anyone arriving from the A7 or A10 who does not want to drive any further into Genoa.
Dinegro — the interchange hub
The Dinegro metro station is one of the strategically best-placed stops on the Genoa metro, the single-line underground running from Brin (Val Polcevera) to Brignole (centre) via Principe, San Giorgio and De Ferrari. Dinegro is the second station from the western terminus at Brin, sitting right where the motorway exit “Genova Ovest” dumps arriving traffic. Park, walk 30 metres, tap in, and you are in the centre in under ten minutes.
Times from Dinegro by metro: 5 minutes to Piazza Principe, 7 minutes to De Ferrari (the symbolic heart of Genoa), 10 minutes to Brignole. The Lot 1 yard is the largest in the entire P&R network: 145 bays spread on the surface right next to the metro entrance.
Tariffs
- Base rate: €0.50/h (paid 6am–8pm)
- Integrated AMT day-pass: €10.00 (parking for a day + unlimited bus/metro)
- Annual AMT season-ticket holders: free
- Overnight / weekend: minimal tariffication — de facto cheap
- Access: 24/7
The pricing logic is the most interesting in the city’s network: the €10 day-pass bundles parking and full AMT usage, which turns Dinegro into the single best-value formula for a day in the centre with plenty of metro and bus hopping.

Why choose it
For a driver arriving from the A7 (Milan) or the A10 (Riviera of Flowers) with a quick errand in the centre — business, visits, shopping, dinner, a show — Dinegro Lot 1 is the calmest play: park, take the metro, step out at De Ferrari five to seven minutes later. Total cost: €0.50 of parking (1 hour) + €1.60 metro ticket = €2.10 for an hour downtown. Compared with Autopark Piccapietra at €2.50/h for one hour in the centre, the difference is small — but the advantage is real: zero stress driving the caruggi, no ZTL worry, no search for a bay.
For longer visits (a full day of museums and lunch), the €10 integrated AMT day-pass beats private covered garages which run €18–€25 a day. If you carry an annual AMT pass, the parking is outright free: Dinegro becomes a zero-cost base camp for anyone working in or visiting the centre regularly.
Lot 2
Next to Lot 1 is the Park & Ride Dinegro Lot 2, a smaller extension with 30 additional bays on the same tariff. If Lot 1 is full, Lot 2 is the immediate fallback — same metro entrance, same tariff. Between the two lots you have 175 bays, enough to almost never leave you stranded.
What surrounds the car park
Dinegro is the western gateway to the centre. Within a short walk or one metro stop:
- FS Park Piazza Principe — the alternative interchange integrated with the main rail station
- Stazione Piazza Principe — the main trans-regional rail station
- Palazzo Reale — one of the most striking baroque palaces of the Unesco Rolli system
- Commenda di Prè — medieval hospice turned museum, atmospheric and undervisited
- The whole historic centre within ten metro minutes
For a visiting family on a Saturday, the combination “car at Dinegro + kids’ metro ride + De Ferrari + Aquarium + Porto Antico” works very well — and keeps the parking budget under €5 for the whole day.
