Five days along the Italian Riviera. Spend a day and a half in Genoa's maze of old lanes and grand palaces, then take the train down the coast to the Cinque Terre for three nights of village hopping and cliff paths. Finish in Pisa, about an hour and a half away, for the Leaning Tower and the rest of the Piazza dei Miracoli.
Yes, for the main sights. It gives you a full day in Genoa, two and a half days in the villages and a day in Pisa.
You need one to walk the paid coastal paths like the Blue Path. The Via dell'Amore also needs a timed booking, and one version of the card covers the trains between the villages.
Monterosso has the most hotels and a real beach. Vernazza and Manarola are prettier but smaller, with fewer rooms.
About an hour to an hour and a half by train, usually with a change at La Spezia.
