Hi. My husband and I will be taking public transportation from Varenna to Cinque Terre. Anyone know what train would be best? The quickest route, if possible.
Go to:
www.trenitalia.com
Enter:
From: Varenna-Esino
To: Riomaggiore
Date (select one date in the next 7 days, choosing the same date of the week of your day of travel. Schedule won't change much)
Time: 00 (to see all trains starting from early morning).
Select the option that best fits your schedule. There are many solutions.
A bit of further information......
The train from Varenna-Esino to Milano Centrale will be a Regionale so DON'T forget to validate your ticket prior to boarding the train on the day of travel, or you'll risk hefty fines which will be collected on the spot!
Using the schedules for this week, one of the quickest and easiest trips will be a departure from Varenna at 10:37, arriving Riomaggiore at 15:39 (time 5H:02M, two changes at Milano Centrale and Sestri Levante).
