In the Cinque Terre your train ticket and your park ticket are the same card, the Via dell'Amore costs €10 more, and one section of the coastal path is closed as of September 2026.

## What the Treno Card buys

One adult day on the Cinque Terre Treno Card costs €22 to €35 between March 14 and November 1, 2026, in three crowding bands. It covers unlimited second class travel on regional trains between La Spezia, the five villages and Levanto, plus the paid trail sections, the village shuttle buses, the guided walks of the Cinque Terre Walking Park, and the station restrooms, which matters more than it sounds.

Two days cost €36.50 to €61 and three days €49 to €81 in the same period. From November 2 to December 31 the one day card is €17.30, two days €29, three days €34. Children aged 4 to 12 pay €15 to €23.50 a day and over 70s €18.50 to €29.50.

## If you are walking, not riding

The Trekking Card is the other option: €10 a day for one adult in standard periods and €15 in high season, €17 and €26.70 for two days. It includes the paid trails, the Via dell'Amore, the village buses and free entry to the CAMeC museum in La Spezia, and no trains at all.

Working out which card wins is arithmetic, not preference. Two train hops a day and one trail section, and the Treno Card is ahead; a single point to point walk with a car parked in Levanto, and it isn't.

## The Via dell'Amore is a booked, one way, paid path

The cliff path between Riomaggiore and Manarola costs €10 as a supplement on top of any Cinque Terre Card, and it has to be booked. Residents don't book and don't pay.

Capacity is 400 people an hour, released in groups of 100 every 15 minutes, with organized groups capped at 30. In high season it runs one way only, Riomaggiore to Manarola. Hours are 8:00 am to 7:00 pm from April 1 to October 31, last entry 6:30 pm, and 9:30 am to 5:00 pm from November 1 to March 31, last entry 4:30 pm.

## What is actually open on the blue trail

As of September 1, 2026 the Sentiero Verde Azzurro, trail 592, can't be walked end to end. Section 592-2 between Manarola and Corniglia is closed, and the detour climbs to Volastra and comes back down.

Section 592-1, Riomaggiore to Manarola, is the Via dell'Amore, graded easy and subject to the rules above. Sections 592-3, Corniglia to Vernazza, and 592-4, Vernazza to Monterosso, are open and graded for experienced hikers. Half the sites you'll read still describe the whole route as open. Check the park's own status page on the morning you walk.

## Genoa, Portovenere, and the pesto

Liguria's 1997 World Heritage listing covers Portovenere, the five villages and the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto: 4,689.25 hectares along 15 km of coast, where most of the dry stone terrace walls date from the 12th century.

The other, from 2006, is Genoa's Strade Nuove and the Rolli palaces, a system of private houses that the Republic once assigned by lot to host visiting dignitaries. It sits up the coast from the crowd and takes almost none of it.

Basilico Genovese, the DOP basil that goes into pesto, has been registered since October 5, 2005. The region recorded 16,128,866 overnight stays in 2024, 3.46% of the national total, which is a lot of people on a strip of coast served by one railway line. Both listings, with what each one includes, are at [UNESCO sites in Liguria](/unesco/in-liguria).

## FAQ

### Which Cinque Terre card do I need?

The Treno Card if you plan to move by rail, the Trekking Card if you plan to walk. The Treno Card covers unlimited second class regional trains between La Spezia, the five villages and Levanto, plus paid trails and buses. The Trekking Card, from €10 a day, covers the trails and no trains.

### How much is the Cinque Terre Treno Card in 2026?

From €22 to €35 for one adult day between March 14 and November 1, depending on the crowding band, €36.50 to €61 for two days and €49 to €81 for three. From November 2 to December 31 the one day card drops to €17.30.

### Is the Via dell'Amore open?

Yes, on booking and for a fee. It costs €10 on top of any Cinque Terre Card, admits 400 people an hour in groups of 100 every 15 minutes, and runs one way from Riomaggiore to Manarola in high season. Hours are 8:00 am to 7:00 pm from April 1 to October 31.

### Can you walk the whole coastal path between the five villages?

Not as of September 2026. Section 592-2 between Manarola and Corniglia is closed, with a detour up through Volastra. The Corniglia to Vernazza and Vernazza to Monterosso sections are open but graded for experienced hikers, not for sandals.

### What else is UNESCO listed in Liguria?

Two sites. Portovenere, the Cinque Terre and the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, inscribed in 1997 over 4,689.25 hectares of coast, and Genoa's Strade Nuove with the Rolli palaces, inscribed in 2006. The second gets a fraction of the visitors of the first.
