Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, head towards Finale Ligure from your starting point in Liguria. Use the A10 motorway and take the exit for Finale Ligure. After exiting, follow the signs for SP1 towards Finale Ligure. Once in Finale Ligure, navigate to 'Str. per Castel Gavone'. The castle is located on a hill, so be prepared for some uphill driving.

Once you arrive at Finale Ligure train station, you can take a local bus (Line 1) towards 'Finale Ligure - Castel Gavone' or walk. If you choose to walk, it's about a 30-minute trek uphill from the station to the castle. Make sure to check the bus schedule ahead of time, as it may vary.
