Terzo binario (Scenic backroute to the marina)
While you’re exploring Riomaggiore, there’s a beautiful sea view walking path that connects the train station to the marina that’s worth checking out.
Guests staying in the historical center:
Go up via Colombo (the main street) and through the historical center. When you reach the big staircase on the left, follow it to the left and make your first left again. You’ll be at the main church (San Giovanni Battista).
After visiting the church, with your back towards the church, you’ll see Bar Old Skool : take the stairs up on the right. (If you don’t want to do the stairs, you can take the elevator and make a left). You’ll get to the Castello, with beautiful views of the sea and town.
Take the same stairs back down, turn right at the bottom of the staircase and take the panoramic stroll around via Telemaco Signorini.
Follow it until you get to the train station (or, take the elevator for the shortcut to the train station).
