How to get to Vernazza?
The best way to reach Vernazza is undoubtedly by train. During daylight hours there are 4 trips per hour arriving from both La Spezia (20-minute run) and Levanto (10-minute run). The last train to arrive is after midnight in both directions.
For those traveling in Cinque Terre as a walker, you can reach Vernazza on foot from Corniglia and Monterosso through the Blue Path (Sentiero Azzurro), from Pignone through the path of Madonna di Reggio Sanctuary.
For bicycle travelers, you can load bikes on board the train. The roads out of Vernazza are all uphill, it is advisable to use pedal-assisted bikes. Between Levanto and Framura there is a long cycle path obtained from the redevelopment of the old railway tunnels.
Those who love the sea can reach Vernazza by boat from La Spezia (1 hour and 15 minutes) and from Levanto (30 minutes). For those with their own boat: it is necessary to book access to the Marine Protected Area from Cinque Terre National Park website, it is possible to transit in the small port of Vernazza (boat with a maximum length of 10 meters, shallow draft), but stopping is prohibited.
We do not recommend using cars, the driveway is narrow and winding, in many places alternating one-way, there are no fuel pumps in any of Cinque Terre (the nearest are in Levanto or La Spezia).
