Cinque Terre card and train
Hi all,
I had a couple of question about arriving in Cinque Terre by train from Sestri Levante.
Our plan was to get to Monterosso (there's a quick InterCity available in the morning) and once there, purchase the Cinque Terre Card Train (Family rate) for the day. Given the state of the walking paths between the towns and our kids ages (6 and 8), I assume we will be taking some trains between the towns.
Does that make sense?
Can the CT card be purchased at the Tourist Office next to the Monterosso train station?
Thanks.

I know some train stations have CT ticket booths (e.g. La Spezia), but not all.
Since we're coming from Sestri Levante, I was hoping to just get the CT card when we get off the train at Monterosso.
I think we'll stick to the trains, as opposed to boats. (Trip is is July).

Consorzio Marittimo 5 Terre - Golfo dei Poeti ferry, be careful of the schedule. We bought tickets for rt, 25 euro and could not get back. We left on first boat out of La Spezia, stopped at one village, ferry stops every 45 min, took the boat to Monterosso, ate lunch and hiked to next village and could not get a boat back. It took us several hours to hike. You can do it faster but only if you don't stop to take pics and there is not a lot of traffic. It is one way only on some parts of the paths. We then had to buy a train ticket. The lady selling tickets in Vernazza was RUDE. If you hike the views are more beautiful than from the boat. You see amazing things. It was foggy when we left at 9 am so all my boat pics were awful.

We were unable to do the boats both times we were in CT.. Trains are just fine Hop on then hop off and on again..Walk from Manerola to Riomaggio(or reverse) easy 20 minutes..Some paths may be closed if raining..
wait until you get there to decide.
