It's an easy walk from the cruise terminal to the train station, and there it's just as easy to pick up a Cinque Terre day train ticket - et voila, you can explore one of the best stretches of coast anywhere in the Mediterranean.

Hello Marcos, thank you for your comment. Is right, you can use train. Otherwise, people have been already here, can say how is hard to move by yourself in high season because there are really a lot of people here. We suggest everytime to have or a tour (minivan or car with driver can help you to be dropped off in a village and picked up at the end of your tour) or by a Tour Guide/Leader because just locals can help you to spend very well all your time here. Infact there are really a lot of options between all itinerarire and they dpeending from weather, boats time-table, traffic, arrive time and departure time, how many people are you, waves. All these events change itinerary, usually directly on a way. We suggest everytime to have a local tour leader or guide or use a customize tour
