How much is a ticket to Cinque Terre?

There is no entrance fee to the Cinque Terre National Park. Whether you need a Cinque Terre Train Card or not, depends on how many journeys by train between the villages you intend to make. The card costs 18,20 euros a day for an adult. A one-way train ticket between two villages costs 5 euros per journey.



Visiting the five villages of the Cinque Terre in 2026 is most efficiently done using the Cinque Terre Card. In 2026, the price for the Cinque Terre Train Card (which includes unlimited train travel between Levanto and La Spezia and access to hiking trails) is seasonally tiered. During the "Red Zone" (peak summer/weekends), a 1-day adult card costs €32.50 to €35.00. During the "Green Zone" (off-peak), it drops to approximately €18.70. If you only wish to hike the "Sentiero Azzurro" trails without using the train, the Cinque Terre Trekking Card is available for roughly €7.50 per day. Tickets can be purchased at any station or via the "Cinque Terre MS Card" app. Note that standard "one-way" train tickets between villages are now priced dynamically and can cost up to €10 per trip during peak hours, making the multi-day "Card" the most professional and cost-effective choice for explorers.
