Question

Should I rent a car and drive to Cinque Terre?

Answer

It really depends on where you are coming from. Generally speaking no, renting a car is not recommended for visiting Cinque Terre. The villages are very small and pedestrian-friendly, and there is no parking available in the villages themselves. You will need to park in one of the nearby towns, such as La Spezia or Levanto, and take the train to the villages. The train is the most convenient and efficient way to get around Cinque Terre. The train stops at each of the five villages and offers stunning views of the coastline.
