Night trains, Liguria, Italy
To the Cinque Terre – while you sleep
If you are taking a day trip from London to Munich via Paris or Brussels, you can board the 20.09 train to La Spezia Centrale. Enjoy breakfast in your compartment as the train passes the majestic Certosa di Pavia Abbey while you sleep. After a short while, cross the Po River, climb several hills, and then descend steeply to the Genoa shore. The train follows the Ligurian coast, offering beautiful views of Cinque Terre towns like Riomaggiore, before arriving in La Spezia at 11:10. But the best is yet to come. From Munich, a sleeper cabin for two costs just €199.80. Book online at nightjet.comor raileurope.com.
