VISITING THE CINQUE TERRE BY TRAIN

Cinque Terre Express – the best way to move in the Cinque Terre is by train.

Visitors to the area are constantly growing, especially day trippers coming from cruise ships mooring in La Spezia. Regione Liguria and Trenitalia improved the train service to the famous five villages adding a number of extra trains and scheduling trains departure from La Spezia to Levanto every 30 minutes during peak hours. They called it Cinque Terre Express.

 

Train schedule of the Cinque Terre Express  can be found on Trenitalia website or, better, on the dedicated FREE App 

Better buying the tickets in advance so to skip the long lines when in the area. But in case you forgot it, do not panic, you can still buy the tickets locally, even at ticket machines.

 

PLEASE, NOTE!

Trenitalia schedule for the Cinque Terre Regional Trains is quite good with frequent runs during the day, but, since the tracks running along our coastline are just 2, well, sometimes a train is cancelled and other trains, due to the crowd jumping on and off, delay their departure. 

So delays on the line are to be expected. 

If you have connections or flights  to catch, please, consider to leave your check-out village with a large advantage of time.
