点评:So upset — it ruined our day in Genoa.
Beautiful viewpoint, but an extremely confusing ticketing system for visitors.
We walked up to Castelletto and only used the lift to come back down. The ride lasted approximately one minute.
The main ticket machine appeared to be switched off or unlit, and the only visible machine looked like a standard bus ticket machine. Nothing made it obvious to us that this short lift ride was part of Genoa's public transport network or that a transport ticket was required before boarding.
Immediately after exiting the lift, we were stopped by inspectors and informed that the penalty was €80.
For a family enjoying a day of sightseeing, this came as a complete shock and frankly ruined our day in Genoa.
I understand that rules must be enforced, but clearer signage in English and a visible warning at the entrance would prevent many tourists from making the same mistake. A one-minute lift ride should not become an expensive surprise because of unclear information.
The viewpoint itself is excellent, but visitors should be aware that a valid AMT transport ticket is required even if you only use the lift for a very short journey.
翻译:太失望了——这毁了我们在热那亚的一天。
景色很美,但游客的售票系统却极其混乱。
我们步行登上了卡斯特莱托城堡,只在下山时乘坐了电梯。电梯运行时间大约一分钟。
主售票机似乎关机了或者没亮灯,唯一可见的售票机看起来像普通的公交车售票机。没有任何迹象表明这段短短的电梯行程是热那亚公共交通网络的一部分,或者上车前需要购买交通票。
刚出电梯,我们就被查票员拦住,并被告知罚款80欧元。
对于一个享受观光之旅的家庭来说,这完全出乎意料,坦白说,这毁了我们在热那亚的一天。
我理解规则必须执行,但如果在入口处设置更清晰的英文标识和醒目的警告,就能避免许多游客犯同样的错误。仅仅一分钟的电梯行程不应该因为信息不明确而变成一笔昂贵的意外。
观景点本身非常棒,但游客应该注意,即使只是乘坐电梯进行很短的旅程,也需要有效的 AMT 交通票。
