  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. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Easter and the first crowds

  3–6 AbrPáscoa e Semana SantaLotadoReserve cedo

  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. Fonte ↗

• Regra

  One-way walking on peak days

  1 Abr – 10 Jun · normalmenteFechamentos

  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. Fonte ↗

  Day-trippers from La Spezia

  15 Abr – 15 Out · normalmenteInvasão de bate-voltaLotado

  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. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Spring bank-holiday bridges

  25 Abr – 2 JunFeriado nacionalLotadoReserve cedo

  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. Fonte ↗

  A Saturday in May given over to the local lemons — stalls, cakes and limoncello along the old town front, before the season's crowds properly arrive. Fonte ↗

  Sea warm enough to swim

  20 Jun – 30 Set · normalmente

  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.

  Manarola hillside nativity

  8 Dez – 31 JanNatal e Ano-Novo

  Thousands of lights laid out across the terraces above Manarola, switched on every 8 December and left up into the new year. It is the only reason to be here in the dead season, and a good one. Fonte ↗
