i am going to diano marina, in october and would love to know if anybody knows what the weather is like at this time of year thank you

can someone please tell me if there is an ATM or bank in Vernazza?

Gtrazi!

I will be in La Spezia, going to Siena the first week of June. WHat are the travel options? Been on Trenitalia and it seems arduous by train. Any ideas out there?

Greetings.

I have a trip planned for this weekend (May 1--3) to Cinque Terre.

I am driving from France, and staying in Vernazza. I wonder where I should park.

I suppose that Levanto might be easiest, but I am afraid that its parking lots might be full due to the holiday weekend. So should I park in La Spezia? If so where can I park for a couple days in that city?

We also plan to visit Pisa while we're in the area, so La Spezia is not necessarily out of the way, even though it's on the opposite side of the CT from France.

I hope you can help me in this small amount of time.

Hi, we are going to spend 4 days in Monterosso and I wonder where the best parking lot is? Is it possible to park on a street or only on a parking?
Thanks for any advise!

Hello all:

We are traveling from Florence to the Cinque Terre and staying in Riomaggiore, then we are headed to Nice.

Could someone please help me out with what train I should take from the Cinque Terre to Nice?

Hello!
I am thinking about booking a cruise for next year. We will be stopping at La Spezia, and I want to know how far is it to Florence and Pisa?
Also approx travelling times???Thank you in advance!!!

I need to book a ticket from Genova to Nice at the beginning of June. I have to be in Nice for 12.30 md and was hoping to get the 8.55 morning train, but there is nowhere for me to book this ticket. I have looked at both Trenitalia and SNCF sites (RailEurope was not at all helpful and said that there must be engineering works). The train shows on the timetables on the internet but it says that tickets for that particular train cannot be booked on the internet. Is there any other way of getting to Nice for 12.30md, please? Does anyone know a way round the train ticket booking problem (everyday it is showing as not bookable - although it was a couple of months ago!)

Has anyone stayed at the LaSpiaggia Hotel in Monterosso, Italy? It seems to be so convenient to the train station - 1 block. We are looking for a place that is close or has a taxi service because we will have several suitcases with us. I have read both good and bad things about this hotel. In order to reserve a room you have to call them directly, which is not a problem. I just wanted to get some advice from people who have stayed there. Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

On a cruise - stopping in Savona - we are 5 people and shore excursions are costly!! Is it possible to see the sites on our own?

From my previous question, Camere Latorre looks like not such a good place to stay. Has anyone heard of Lia?

Does anyone have current information on this small hotel?

I am headed to Cinque Terre for three days of hiking & exploring. I am used to Intense hikes and climbs and usually wear running shoes. However, i am trying to pack light and was hoping to get away with some light weight PUMA tennis shoes. they have traction on the sole but no ankle support. they are very comfortable.

Will these work? Is there intense elevation or more of an uneven trail?

how do i get by train from pisa?
is there a train station in monterosso al mare?

My husband and I will be cruising the Mediterranean in May and will be stopping for 10 hours 9-5 in Savona Genoa. We would prefer to "freelance" rather than sign up for the cruise ship tours. What would you suggest? What are the "must sees" in Savona Genoa which we could gently visit while spending time strolling and enjoying the city with plenty of time for a non-touristy lunch? Or would we be better to hire a taxi to see some special sights? Oh! And does anyone have recommendations for a lovely lunch? Thanks! Marilyn

Planning a trip to Pietra Ligure in June. Flying into Nice and wish to stay there for 2 nights first. any good hotels near to the airport and train station? Secondly, don't really want to hire a car and would love some advice on getting into Liguria. I know the train goes into Finale but not sure if this is the best thing to do? Also having problems getting train timetables. Any advice appreciated never have done this before!!!!

A friend and I are visiting Cinque Terre from a Thursday to a Saturday in May. Which town should we stay in? We're 27, so we're hoping for a place that is beautiful with local flavor, and may have a small nightlife scene. We are not expecting to do any major partying, but we'd like to find something to do in the evenings. Which town would be best?

Thank you!

Hello

Although the climate maps seem to indicate dry conditions during the month of May. Is this so? As I will only have 3 days in the area, I'd be disappointed to find some of the walking trail closed because of the rain.

Do you think it advisable to prebook (single) accommodation before arriving? I was thinking of maybe staying in Manarola.

Have the tourists started flooding in to Cinque Terre by 24 May?

Great, if someone can advise.

Hi,

My boyfriend & I are flying into Genoa on the 2nd August and out on the 10th. We're thinking of spening most of our time visting the different villages of the Cinque Terre and also soaking up the sun on Monterosso beach. We'll then head to Florence for our last few days. So my question is ... which village should we stay in?

Any responses will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Hayley

I am trying to figure out whether to drive or take the train to Cinque Terra and turn in my rental car early. I'd rather drive. We are going in Mid-September and our hotel "Villa Cinque Terra" in Monterroso has parking. THanks!

Hi there,

Can anyone please let me know approx how long it would take to travel from Genoa Airport to Genoa Piazza Pri Station?

Thankyou,
Heidi

Recommendations for inexpensive but decent hostel accommodations in Cinque Terre- travelling alone there this May

Accessible to public transportation and safe

Are there car rentals available at the main train station in Genova Italy

Could anyone tell me the cost of breakfast in Monterosso? I'm looking at a hotel that has one price for the room with breakfast and one price without breakfast. The difference is 5 Euro. Unfortunately, I do not know the quality of the breakfast. Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone recommend a minibus transfer company or taxi company which provides transfers from Genoa Airport to Diano Marina in Liguria.Is there transfer alternatives(bus/train)if this is too expensive?

Hello everyone,
Next winter I will be an Erasmus student for 3 months in La spezia. Do you know any idea about rentals ,how much does it cost a room or a dormitory per month?
Thanx..

My husband and I will be traveling from Verona to Cinque Terre, staying in Vernazza. We'd like to drive and park a car when we get there. We do understand one would not use a car in that area. Best route to go if we drive? Or should we take the train? Have checked some schedules, looks like we'd have to change trains a couple times. Best to connect thru La Spezia or Genoa? Thanks

I have 2 hours to kill around lunch time to switch to the train to Nice. Reading these posts it sounds like Genoa is like Naples less the charm...LOL Put my 2 bags in a locker and get lunch nearby, or wait it out and pray I'm not whacked in the station? It will be a few days before Easter. Thanks.
