Does anyone have any advice on finding a correct train schedule on raileurope.com for the above route? maybe a different website? We are trying to find a train from Florence to Cinque Terre. What station should we be using as a destination...we tried riomaggiore and la spezia, but no luck either way. Raileurope's website displays an error that "no route can be found" Thanks for any help...

Use the trenitalia website. http://www.ticketclic.it/Gb/HTML/musei/colosseo.cfm Enter a date for later this week to find the schedules and fares. These will be regional trains and they don't show the prices more than a week in advance. You can enter Florence and the town in CT that you wish to visit. The area is made up of 5 main towns including Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso. You can enter any of these city names to find the fares and schedules. If you enter Cinque Terre you are entering a region and not a city name. Donna

Rail Europe is a travel agency and not a rail company that sells. You are going to be taking regional trains from Florence so those routes will not show up on Rail Europe because they do not sell tickets for all routes. Use trenitalia.com or if just looking for schedules you can use bahn.de

It's easy to pull up on Trenitalia.com. Click on the English flag. Put in Florence departure and any one of the C/T cities, like Corniglia. You'll usually have to change trains in Pisa and again in LaSpezia to get there. It's a 3 hr. trip, and very reasonably priced. Any train schedules in Italy are for the very near future. With the country in economic turmoil, things change quickly. It's hard to make firm travel plans at the present, which makes one have to be a little variable in their travel plans.
