Riomaggiore railway station marks the southern gateway to Cinque Terre, located just a short walk from the village center. The station sits at sea level, with the village climbing the hillside above. Trains from La Spezia arrive here first, making it a popular entry point for visitors. The station is compact, with a single platform and a tunnel that leads directly into the main street of Riomaggiore. From the station, you can easily reach the marina, the castle ruins, and the start of the famous Via dell'Amore footpath to Manarola.
