Now-- this is different. Very short journey between five villages on the Italian coastline. The pictures don`t do the area justice. When we have been there the weather has not been too good but still enjoyed the experience. To call it one of the Great Rail Journey of the World is a bit
exaggerated but it is still a great train trip. Hopping from station to station.
Images are from 2014 --Not the best

The Cinque Terre trains connect six stops: La Spezia is the gateway-- the main transport hub for the area. The “official” Cinque Terre towns are Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso.
From Riomaggiore to La Spezia it takes around10 minutes.5 minutes between the actual Cinque Terre towns
Vernazza's scenic train station is located directly above the village and can be reached on foot in about five minutes.
The Monterosso train station is the largest in Cinque Terre.
From the train station the village of Corniglia can be reached by stairs in fact 377 steps. There is a bus if the steps too much for you.
