 Introduction
Beautiful vineyards surround the village, which stands atop a 100-meter-high hill. Visitors can climb a 377-step staircase known as “Lardarina” into town, or follow the road that leads from the station. The long staircase also provides access to the pebbly beach below.
Corniglia lies in the middle of the Cinque Terre villages, and when you stand on the town's rock terrace, you can see the other towns, Vernazza, Monterossa al Mare, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. Visitors should pay a visit to each of them, by hiking along the footpath which stretches for 4.5 km (9 miles). The five towns are also connected by the local train which runs along the Spezia-Genoa line.
Arrival Plane
The Cinque Terre is located between Pisa and Genoa, approximately 100 km from each city. Both Genoa's (GOA) “Aeroporto Di Genova”, and Pisa's “Pisa International Galileo Galilei Airport” are logical arrival point for international travelers. Both airports accommodate flights from around Italy, as well as many cities throughout Europe. Ryanair runs direct flights from London Stanstead to Genoa, and Lufthansa runs three daily flights out of Munich. To Pisa, Air France, Alitalia, and EasyJet operate daily flights from Paris. And several airlines fly direct from London.
Train
From Genoa, take the train to La Spezia, a one and a half hour ride. The journey from Pisa is slightly shorter. Trains from La Spezia to the Cinque Terre depart every hour. The journey takes 30 minutes. Local trains connect all five towns.
Car
Exit the A12/E80 motorway at Carrodano-Levanto, and follow the road to Riomaggiore, where you can park the car in an indoor garage.
Boat
In summer, ferry boats connect all five villages, as well as nearby coastal towns.
