Train Travel

Train travel is by far the most convenient mode of transportation throughout the region. It takes 3½ hours for an express train to cover the entire Ligurian coast. Local trains take upward of five hours or more to get from one end of the coast to the other, stopping in or near all the towns along the way. For schedules, check the website of the national railway, Ferrovie dello Stato (FS892021 www.trenitalia.com).
