Buy your train tickets on ItaliaRail  to easily reach the Cinque Terre by train.

There’s for now a connection via Florence to La Spezia, it takes less than 5 hours. If you leave at 9:35 a.m. for instance from Venice Santa Lucia you reach La Spezia at 2:27 passing through Florence.

Driving from Venice to Liguria would also offer you opportunities for visiting additional towns, Mantova, full of history, or Parma and the surrounding area of Parmesan Cheese and Zibello Ham.

And if you like driving your own car you can find useful info clicking here

After your visit to Venice we suggest you to add a stay in Manarola, which is said the most intellectual one of the five villages on the Liguria coastline,

And now a fe suggestions for your Cinque Terre Stay

If you travel by car you might find this link useful. You’ll learn everything about car parking in the Cinque Terre.

We, anyway, always suggest to reach the area by train or hiring a private driver.

Here hints on our amazing villages:

Manarola 

It has rocks and cliffs and a small marina where boats arrive and connect it to the other four hamlets of the Cinque Terre and to La Spezia. It is served by train and can also be easily reached by car, from the highway passing through La Spezia and taking the panoramic road called “Litoranea” (coastal route). Public car parking is small and when parking spots are full you have to park at additional spots along the main road, served anyway by the National Park shuttle buses.

Cinque Terre Riviera offers in Manarola lovely properties all with amazing sea views

Monterosso 

has long, equipped beaches and it is split up into two areas, Old Village and Fegina, connected by a pedestrian tunnel along the promenade. In Fegina we have the train station, while in in the Old Village we find the boat pier. Both areas can be accessed by separate roads and have larger car parking areas (even though now, after last October flash flood , the car parking area in the Old Village cannot be used and access by car is suggested from Fegina)

Vernazza

It has a tiny beach and lots of rocks where you can lay down and enjoy sun tanning! Kids love jumping from Ventegà pier and dive into the village crystal clear waters.

It’s the most romantic of the five villages. Small and welcoming for any kind of traveller. Boats serve all the beaches and villages around.
