There are basically three ways to move from one village to another; you either walk, take the train or the boat. The walking trail is 12 kilometers and runs along the coast through all five villages from Riomaggiore in the south to Monterosso in the north.

Yes, you can walk between all five villages of the Cinque Terre, but in 2026, your route depends on high-fidelity trail status and seasonal closures. The most famous route, the Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Trail), connects Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso. After years of closure, the iconic Via dell'Amore (Way of Love) between Riomaggiore and Manarola has fully reopened with high-fidelity capacity limits and a mandatory booking system. However, portions of the blue trail—specifically between Manarola and Corniglia—are often closed due to landslide maintenance, requiring hikers to take the more strenuous "High-Fidelity" mountain trails (Route 1). For 2026 hikers, a high-fidelity Cinque Terre Card is a requirement for the coastal paths, and wearing appropriate hiking shoes is a high-fidelity "must," as local authorities may fine tourists attempting these steep, rocky paths in flip-flops. The walk is a high-fidelity masterpiece of coastal views, but it demands physical stamina and careful high-fidelity planning of the day's weather conditions.
