We will be docking in Santa Margheria near Portofino from 8 AM to 8 PM for one day in May on a cruise. Is it easy to get to the Cinque Terre via bus or train for the day?? Thanks.
We took the train from Vernazza in the CT to Santa Margharita for the day. It was very easy. We had time to explore SM and take the bus to Portifino. It was a pleasant day. You could easily do it in reverse. The train that runs between the 5 towns is very easy to navigate. Do it!
What did you plan to do in CT?
What time will you actually get off the ship and what time do you actually have to be back on board?
I would stay closer to your ship
Visit SML, Portofino, Rapallo
I took the train from Monterosso to SML and it was easy.
