Prices and rules of the Cinque Terre Card

How much does it cost to enter the Cinque Terre?

Nothing: there is no entry ticket. You only pay for the services you use, i.e. the train, the Card for the paid trails and the Via dell'Amore, the boats.

The Cinque Terre National Park has no gates: you can walk through the villages without buying anything, except the transport you use.

So how much does it cost to go there? It depends on what you do. The train between the villages requires a Cinque Terre fare ticket or the Treno MS Card. The Sentiero Verde Azzurro between Monterosso and Corniglia and the Via dell'Amore require the Card. The Linea 02 boat has its own tickets, explained in the boat guide. All official 2026 prices are collected in the prices article.

What does the Cinque Terre Card include?

Access to the Sentiero Verde Azzurro between Monterosso, Vernazza and Corniglia, the Via dell'Amore by reservation, and several Park services; the Treno MS Card adds regional trains.

• The Via dell'Amore, with mandatory reservation of date and half-hour slot.
• Buses within the villages.
• Toilets at the stations of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso: without Card they cost €1.

How much does the Cinque Terre Trekking Card cost?

One day costs €10 for an adult, €15 on high attendance days; two days €17 or €26.70, three days €23.50 or €37.50.

The Park applies two rates: the normal one and the "high attendance" one, valid on the days marked on its calendar. You find the days on the Trekking Card price list page. Adults means 12 to 69 years. Children range from 4 to under 12 years, and under 4s use the Park's services free with an adult who has the Card.

The Card is valid until midnight of the last day, no matter when you first use it. There is also a daily group Card for up to 15 people, at €127.50 (€187.50 on high attendance days). Anyone staying in a CETS-accredited facility pays €5.

How much does the Cinque Terre Treno MS Card cost?

From 14 March to 1 November 2026, one day costs €22, €29.50 or €35 for an adult, according to Trenitalia band A, B or C; from 2 November to 31 December 2026 there is a single fare of €17.30.

The Treno MS Card includes the Trekking Card services plus unlimited second-class travel on regional trains between Levanto and La Spezia. From 14 March 2026 every MS Card also includes the Via dell'Amore, always with mandatory reservation and subject to availability.

The price follows bands A, B and C, green, yellow and red on the Trenitalia 2026 ABC calendar; the Park calls them low, medium and high attendance. From 2 November to 31 December 2026 the bands disappear: an adult pays €17.30 for one day, €29.00 for two, €34.00 for three. The full rates, with children, over 70 and families, are in the train guide.

How much do 3 days in the Cinque Terre cost?

With the Trekking Card €23.50 per person, or €37.50 on high attendance days; with the Treno MS Card €49, €68 or €81 according to the band until 1 November, €34 from 2 November to 31 December 2026.

These figures are for one adult and valid until midnight of the third day. The 3-day family Trekking Card costs €49.50, €77.50 on high attendance days. One rule to know: 2- and 3-day Cards are non-refundable if used in part.

Are the Cinque Terre trails paid?

Only the Sentiero Verde Azzurro, in the stretches between Monterosso, Vernazza and Corniglia, and the Via dell'Amore. All other Park trails are free.

The Sentiero Verde Azzurro is the former trail no. 2, along the coast. As of 22 September 2026, according to the Park, the Manarola - Corniglia stretch (592-2) was closed. The Card was therefore valid for Corniglia - Vernazza, Vernazza - Monterosso and for the Via dell'Amore between Riomaggiore and Manarola.

The status changes: check the trail network page. Difficulty grades, times and rules of the Via dell'Amore are in the trail guide.

Where do you buy the Cinque Terre Card, and can it be refunded?

Online on the Park shop and at the Welcome Centers in the stations; refunds are only provided in the cases set out in the Regulations, such as weather alerts.

The official shop is card.parconazionale5terre.it. On site you will find the Park's Welcome Centers at the stations of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso, La Spezia Centrale and Levanto. The Treno MS Card is also sold through Trenitalia channels. The Card is in the holder's name: at checks you show it with an ID, and a digital copy is sufficient.

There are three refund cases: weather alert (yellow only for the Trekking Card, orange and red for all), force majeure, train strike for the Treno Card only. Light rain does not count. With an orange or red alert the Park suspends sales. Those who bought online can change the date once, at least 24 hours in advance, to a day in the same fare band.
