  Cinque Terre Card season

  14. mar. – 2. nov.

  A park card is required on the coastal path between mid-March and the start of November, and the Via dell'Amore needs a booked time slot on top of it. Outside those dates the trails are free. Kilde ↗

  Easter and the first crowds

  3.–6. apr.Påske & den stille ugeTætpakketBook tidligt

  The season starts at Easter rather than in June. The regional trains fill, the villages take their first coach and cruise groups, and the narrow sections of the path become a queue. Kilde ↗

  One-way walking on peak days

  On the busiest spring days the park makes the Monterosso to Vernazza stretch one direction only, so the walk has to be planned the right way round or not at all. Kilde ↗

  Ships dock at La Spezia and empty into the local train, which is why the villages are unbearable between eleven and four and civil at either end of the day. Kilde ↗

  Liberation Day (25 April), Labour Day (1 May) and Republic Day (2 June) are public holidays, and when one falls near a weekend Italians bridge it into a long break, the ponte. Those weekends bring domestic crowds, fuller trains and higher room rates, and some shops close on the day. Kilde ↗

  Monterosso has the only real beach; everywhere else you get in off rocks or off a slipway. The Ligurian sea stays comfortable to the end of September, after the walking crowds thin.
