Italian Riviera

During July, the topic of the month is rail travel, and where better to travel by rail than Cinque Terre in northern Italy? Of course, if you’re travelling from Canada (or the U.S.A.), you’ll need to hop on a plane to Italy first, but once in “il Bel Paese,” there are plenty of rail services connecting Cinque Terre (via La Spezia) to the rest of the country.
