Tourist Resident Card
Via dell’Amore Entrance and Cinque Terre Card
(Please read carefully to avoid mistakes)
Tourist Resident Card (QR code)
- Free access to both elevators in Riomaggiore.
- A reduced entrance rate to the via dell’Amore (8€ instead of 10€/person).
- Unlimited access to the via dell’Amore from 7am to 1am in both directions (from Riomaggiore AND from Manarola) throughout your entire stay.
- Reduced entrance rate to the castle in Riomaggiore.
Cinque Terre Card (QR code)
To explore the other Cinque Terre villages, you’ll most likely either hike or train from town to town. (Ferry’s are not included in the card).
- The Cinque Terre HIKING card does NOT include the trains. This card is for hiking the blue trail (between Corniglia and Monterosso).
- The Cinque Terre TRAIN card includes the blue hiking trail AND unlimited regional trains between La Spezia Centrale and Levanto.
- Both cards:
– Can be purchased for 1, 2 or 3 CALENDAR days (not 24 hour days) starting from your chosen date. If you buy multiple days, they are valid for consecutive days starting from your chosen date.
– Includes access to the village buses, WiFi hotspots at the train stations and the bathrooms at the train stations.
Save by purchasing the Cinque Terre card only for the full, calendar days you are here.
– Unless you’re planning on exploring the Cinque Terre on your arrival/departure days, you will not need the Cinque Terre card for those days. Just buy single train tickets to arrive / depart (either from La Spezia Centrale to Riomaggiore or from Levanto/Monterosso to Riomaggiore and vice versa).
If you are staying for more than 4-5 nights, you may want to consider the monthly train card that can only be purchased through the Trenitalia website (https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html – or through their app. La Spezia Centrale to Monterosso is around €50/person for the entire calendar month.). Please note that non-residents cannot purchase the weekly card. If you purchase the monthly train card, you will need to purchase the Cinque Terre hiking card and the via dell’Amore entrance ticket separately.
Via dell’Amore (Bar code)
Remember that the via dell’Amore entrance ticket needs be purchased together with a Cinque Terre card (either hiking or train card). So even if you are not planning on hiking or taking the train, if you want to walk the via dell’Amore, you will need to purchase the 1 day hiking card with the via dell’Amore entrance ticket.
IMPORTANT: Even if you purchase the Cinque Terre card starting mid-stay, you will still have access to the via dell’Amore from the day you have booked with us until the day you check out.
To Purchase
The Cinque Terre card and the via dell’Amore tickets DO NOT SELL OUT. We do recommend you to purchase them either the day before or once you get here. Trails may close due to weather and refunds are almost impossible.
You can purchase both the Cinque Terre card and the via dell’Amore entrance ticket through one website or through the app.
