Cinque Terre Tour by Train from La Spezia with Limoncino

The guide meets you at the cruise terminal for a Cinque Terre tour by train from La Spezia that starts on foot. A walk of around 20 minutes takes you through the old centre to the station, and if you are staying in town you can choose the train station as your starting point instead.

Roughly 15 minutes on the train, with the Ligurian Sea far below the cliffs, brings you to Vernazza, one of the most colourful villages on this coast. You get free time among its pastel houses and clear water. Next is Monterosso, the largest village, known for its fine white sand. Here the guide leads you into a traditional shop for a surprise tasting of limoncino, the local lemon liqueur, a fitting toast to the day.

• Vernazza: pastel houses and views over clear water
• Monterosso: the beach and the limoncino stop
• Riomaggiore: the last stop, with fishermen's boats tied up in the port

After more free time in Monterosso, the train takes you on to Riomaggiore, then back to La Spezia. The tour covers the guide, the tasting and the Cinque Terre Card, your daily pass for the trains between the villages. Swimwear and comfortable shoes are worth packing. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility impairments, and the order of the stops may change.
