Operated by Cities With Us · La Spezia, Liguria
The morning begins in La Spezia with salt on the air and trains that thread the cliffline like a purpose-built lifeline. You step off a station platform and within minutes the pace changes: narrow alleys, pastel façades, and the sound of waves punctuating conversations. Over the course of the day you hop short train runs between Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, each village offering a distinct slice of Ligurian life — harbor cafés, stone churches, and terraces carved into the hills.

Much of the area is protected as Cinque Terre National Park — stick to marked paths, avoid littering, and support local businesses to help preserve trails and terraces.
