Classic Italy with Cinque Terre and the Italian Riviera

18-day independent rail trip through Italy and the Cinque Terre

Railbookers' Classic Italy with Cinque Terre and the Italian Riviera is an 18-day, 17-night independent rail package that loops out from Rome and back again. It starts with the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel and the Colosseum in Rome, then continues to Florence for the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo Cathedral. From there the route reaches the coast, with stops in La Spezia and Sestri Levante that give access to the Cinque Terre villages of Monterosso and Vernazza on the Italian Riviera. The trip then turns inland to Turin before a stop in Venice and a return to Rome. As an independent package, travelers arrange their own days between stops rather than following a tour manager. It suits travelers who want to combine Italy's major historic cities with time in the smaller coastal villages of the Riviera.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package; with six stops across 18 days ending back in Rome, confirm the order of cities and how the 17 nights are split before booking.
  • The operator's own description cuts off mid-sentence while listing the Cinque Terre villages, so some route and activity details beyond that point are not documented in what we have.
