1. HOW TO GET FROM LIVORNO TO THE CINQUE TERRE

Visiting the Cinque Terre from Livorno is quite frequent due to the arrival in the city of Livorno of numerous cruises.
By train there are different combinations, the fastest include a change in La Spezia Centrale, with an Intercity or Freccia Bianca and regional train. Journey times vary slightly between an hour and a half and two hours. Riomaggiore is the closest stop to Livorno, then Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso.
Check the timetables on the Trenitalia website.
Once you arrive in La Spezia, a different option is to take the boat and see the Cinque Terre from the sea.

By car on the other hand, distances and travel times are:
- Livorno-Riomaggiore: 1 hour and 30 minutes, 110 km, toll 10 euros, fuel 12 euros.
