getting from nice to cinque terra
Hi,
I'm planning a two weeks trip to france with my wife and our 2 years old daughter. Since we try to avoid long drives, we are planning to rent a car and stay in provence area. However, I really want to visit cinque terra and wondered if there is a train going from nice to cinque terra, and how long is the ride. Is it better to drive by car? Thanks, Omer |

There are trains, but you need to change (at Ventimiglia and/or Genova). The trip takes about 5-6 hrs. See http://fahrplanheft.oebb.at/bin/quer...gaswxww8_1.pdf -- Helmut Uttenthaler, Graz |

Is it better to drive by car? Cinque TerrE (plural, since they are "the Five LandS" ... that's what the name means !) I do not drive, so I can't advise you about that. Last time I was there (a while ago), one of the peculiarities of the Cinque TerrE (from W to E : Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore) was that they were NOT connected between them by road, only by rail or footpaths (or by sea). One could reach the outskirts of some of them by car and then one had to park one's car there. I guess you can't do them as a day trip. If you are lucky, you'd have to take a train from Nice to Genova, and another one from Genova to La Spezia or further (stopping at one of the C.T.). My timetable gives 5 hours and 20 minutes for the first train in the morning, which is not at all early. Use http://home.arcor.de/e.lauterbach/au...fplanx-en.html to get timetables. If you are unluckly you'd have to change also at Ventimiglia. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [email protected] is a newsreading account used by more persons to avoid unwanted spam.
