Travelers can hop aboard the Cinque Terre Express, which runs between Levanto and La Spezia, with journeys taking just 30 minutes.

With departures every 20 minutes during peak times, visitors have the flexibility to explore at their own pace, soaking up the region’s rich history, scenic hiking trails, and vibrant local culture.

The Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its colorful houses, winding cobbled streets, and breathtaking coastal views. In Vernazza, often hailed as the prettiest village, tourists can wander through car-free streets lined with charming shops and enjoy fresh seafood pasta while taking in views of the sparkling Mediterranean. This quaint village offers an idyllic setting for relaxation and adventure.

Meanwhile, Monterosso al Mare, the largest of the five villages, attracts visitors with its long sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Here, sunbathers can rent beach chairs or find a free spot to unwind. History lovers will appreciate the medieval Aurora Tower and the ruins of Fieschi Castle, remnants of a powerful local family.

With 48 hiking trails to explore, the Cinque Terre region is a hiker’s paradise. The train makes it easy to access various trailheads. For beginners, the Riomaggiore to Manarola route is highly recommended, taking approximately 30 minutes along the coast and offering stunning ocean views.

For those planning to explore extensively, purchasing a Cinque Terre MS Card is a smart choice. An off-peak day pass costs just €14.80 (under £13) and allows unlimited travel on the train. Two- and three-day options are also available for €26.50 and €31.50 (approximately £23 and £27, respectively). These prices offer significant savings of up to 50% off peak fares and are valid until March 13.

During the summer months, some trails may charge access fees, but a day pass for the Cinque Terre Express includes entry to paid hiking areas between Monterosso and Corniglia and access to buses in the Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre, facilitating access to remote trails.
