About this experience
Designed for guests with limited mobility or who use a mobility aid, our accessible Cinque Terre shore excursion from Livorno is the perfect way to visit this famous stretch of the Ligurian coastline if you’re not as spry as you once were.
The villages on our itinerary—Portovenere, Vernazza, and Corniglia—are not only charming but also easy to get around in because the ground is fairly level and stairs are limited or nonexistent. We can also get quite close to them by vehicle, which is an important aspect of an accessible tour of the Cinque Terre, where vehicles other than those of residents are not permitted to enter the villages.
Your friendly, professional, English-speaking driver is an expert at navigating the Cinque Terre by car, taking the panoramic road to travel between the villages. You will have the option to take the ferry if you prefer. The view of the villages and dramatic, green cliffs from the sea is something to behold!

Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
After about an hour and forty-five minutes of driving, we will arrive in Portovenere, where you will have about an hour of free time.
Portovenere is perhaps the best-kept secret of the Ligurian coast. This sweet fishing village sits on a beautiful little bay, much like Portofino, its more famous neighbor further up the coast. For scenic beauty, Porto Venere is unrivaled in terms of both natural and man-made elements. If the dramatic cliffs rising from the shimmering Ligurian Sea are not enough to make you feel like you’re in a fairy tale, the imposing church from the 13th century on the promontory surely will.

Kindly note that the stated duration of this itinerary item includes 45-60 minutes of driving time from Portovenere to Corniglia, and free time of 30-45 minutes in Corniglia.
Sitting high on a cliff, Corniglia is unique amongst the Cinque Terre villages; it's the only village that doesn’t sit at the level of the sea. In Corniglia, you get a sense of the medieval past of the place as well as jaw-dropping panoramas up and down the coast.

Kindly note that the stated duration of this itinerary item includes 15-20 minutes of driving time from Corniglia to Vernazza, a bit less than 2 hours of free time in Vernazza, and 2 hours of driving back to the port of Livorno.
Vernazza is one of the most popular destinations in Cinque Terre. Although tourism now drives the local economy, its fishing village past is still evident everywhere. The wide piazza on the harbor is a marvelous place to sit on a terrace to enjoy the sun and a beverage or meal. The village is brimming with restaurants where seafood, the local white wine, and amazing views are featured.
