"Train between the Cinque Terre Villages" Top 5 Page for this destination Monterosso al Mare Transportation Tip by sue_stone

To travel to Monterosso, and between the five villages of the Cinque Terre you can catch the train that runs between La Spezia and Genoa.

Besides hiking, it is the easiest and quickest way to travel from village to village, but not very scenic - most of the time you are in tunnels through the mountains, with only an occasional glimpse of the ocean.

The train is pretty slow, and not that frequent. There is usually 1-3 trains per hour in summer, and less as the weather gets colder. Some trains don't stop at all the villages, so make sure you check the timetable in advance.

A one ride ticket costs around 1.50 euro and there is a day pass that you can buy too. Tickets are available at each of the towns stations, and make sure you pick up a timetable as well.
