Useful tips for train travellers

• On your train journey from Levanto to Cinque Terre, you can expect basic onboard services, primarily catering to the convenience of travelers. The main operator on this route, Trenitalia, generally offers vending machines or snack bars selling drinks, sandwiches, and light refreshments. It's good to grab a snack before your trip as the selection may vary and onboard offerings can be limited.

• Trenitalia operates on this route with two types of seating options: 1st Class and 2nd Class. 1st Class provides more spacious seating, quieter compartments, and sometimes complimentary beverages, while 2nd Class is more affordable and still offers comfortable seating. Given the short duration of the journey, either option works well, though 1st Class may enhance your experience if you prefer a quieter atmosphere. You can check more at their official website (trenitalia.com).

• Upon arriving at the Cinque Terre station, specifically in Monterosso al Mare or any of the other villages, be prepared to navigate stairs and steep walks, as most villages are car-free and located uphill. Unfortunately, there are no luggage storage facilities directly at these stations, but local hotels often offer storage. Public restrooms are available, but showers are not; you will need to plan your essentials before arriving. For the fastest route to get to the city center from the station, look for local buses (line C, for example) that connect to major areas, ensuring you check the current schedules.
