Upon exiting the train in Riomaggiore, we chose to walk up to the town. What were we thinking? This path is best suited to true hikers and those in great shape. The easiest walk is through the tunnel from the train station to the bottom of the main street which is full of trattorias, souvenirs and gelaterias.
There are incredible views and this is definitely not a town to be overlooked!

Monterosso is the only town in Cinque Terre with an actual beach on the Mediterranean. The town is divided into old and new by a tunnel. The views are spectacular and can be enjoyed in the many cafes and surrounding restaurants. We had dinner at Miky..great food and wonderful service! And as with all of Cinque Terre, Monterosso is only minutes away by train.
