Hi, My husband and I are going on our Honey moon. We will be flying into Fiumcino, and want to head right over to Cinque Terre. What is the best way to make this happen?

Hi,

I’m planning a day trip from florence to cinque terra with a pit stop in pisa. What is the best route to get there? Do i need to buy the local/regional train ticket in advance or will there be available to purchase a ticket whenever? How often does the local/region train run into La spezia? Also how long would it be to hike from one end to the other end of cinque terra?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Julie, the train trip from Riomaggiore to Monterosso is between 10-20 minutes depending on what time of day you travel. It's a local train. You can view the schedule here, just enter in your desired travel date. I hope that helps!

Hi Akoos,

We are staying in Riomaggiore, so we were planning on beginning our hike of Trail #2 in Monterosso and ending in Riomaggiore. We are going to take the train from Riomaggiore to Monterosso. Do you know how long that journey will take? Thanks!

We are planning a trip to Cinque Terre next year and will be traveling from the Fiumcino Airport to LaSpezia. In looking at the stations in La Spezia, there seem to be several. Which is the main station? Also, is there service from the airport directly to LaSpezia? How long a ride would that be?

Thanks for your comment. You can look into an Italy Rail 'n Drive pass. This sort of pass would provide you with unlimited rail transportation as well as the ability to arrange car rental. This link will help you discover more about this type of pass, of course, let us know if you have further questions, we're happy to assist!

Hi William, you will need to get to the Livorno Centrale station to take the train to Monterosso. The train ride is approximately 1.5 hours. On the way back from Riomaggiore, you will need to change trains in La Spezia or Pisa to make it back to Livorno. Hope that helps, let me know if you should have any other questions. Have a great day!

Hi Akoos: Which train station is best if I am taking a taxi from the port in Livorno then train from there to Monterosso. Then I will return to Livorno from Riomaggiore. Thanks.

There is at least one train connection per hour on this route from La Spezia to Riomaggiore. During mid-day, there are between 2 and 3 trains. The journey time is approximately 10 minutes. This routing is on a local train, and would be covered with a Eurail Italy pass. And right now, purchase your pass by December 31, 2009 and receive a 20% discount on it! Hope that helps!

Hi, How often is the train service from La Spezia to Riomaggiore?

The train station to use typically depends on where you’re looking to travel. Which cities were you researching? Within a particular city, there can be several stations. These stations operate trains to different cities/countries. And usually there is one main station in the heart of the city. If you can provide your city pairs, I can offer you further information, thanks!

Which train station do you use? There are three options on the italian railway website.
