Your vacation from a vacation

There are no organized activities for your day in the Cinque Terre, so you can do as much or as little as you want.

We chose to do a lot.

Upon arriving at our hotel in Levanto

we are treated to a Tuscan buffet featuring local seafood

and hand made pesto and lemoncello.

The best way to explore all five towns is to purchase a one day rail and trail ticket for unlimited passage by train or by foot.

We start our adventure in Levanto and take the train all to way to the first town  of Riomaggiore.

Nina gave us this very handy map with estimated travel times both by train and by foot.

Be sure you check the train schedule to maximize your time in each town.
