Corniglia FAQs
How do you get up to Corniglia from the station?
Walk the Lardarina stairway, which takes about 15 minutes, or ride the small shuttle bus.
Is Corniglia worth visiting?
Yes, if you want a calmer village and big views. It has no harbour or beach, so it is quieter than the others.
Can you take a ferry to Corniglia?
No. It is the only Cinque Terre village without a ferry stop, because it sits high on the cliff.
