There is a leveled path to the village from the train station by going through a tunnel. But I climbed a hill from the train station to overlook the town.

The next destination is the Manarola village. The train arrives every 15 to 30 minutes and takes about 4 minutes to the next village.
Arrived at the Manarola village and walked through the tunnel to reach the city center.
