Tips for Visiting Cinque Terre on a Budget
- Buy the Cinque Terre Card:The official card covers unlimited train travel between the five villages and access to the hiking trails. A one day card costs €18 and saves money compared to buying individual tickets.
- Hike between villages:The coastal hiking trails connecting the villages are free to walk with the Cinque Terre Card and offer some of the most spectacular views in Italy. The trail between Riomaggiore and Manarola is the most famous.
- Eat at local bars not restaurants:A focaccia slice or fresh farinata (chickpea flatbread) from a local bakery costs €2-3. Sit-down restaurants in the villages charge premium prices for tourist crowds — eat standing up and save significantly.
- Visit in shoulder season:April, May, September and October offer beautiful weather with far fewer crowds than summer. July and August are extremely busy and prices spike considerably.
- Getting to Cinque Terre:The easiest way is by train from Genoa (1 hour) or La Spezia (15 minutes). Check ourcheap train tickets pagefor the best current prices and book in advance.
