A native Italian tour leader's best recommendations to help you plan your trip to the Cinque Terre: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The Cinque Terre are a very common day trip destination, but please note that you’ll enjoy them so much more if you spend at least one night or, better yet, two or three or more. There’s so much to do and see in the area, and one day just isn’t enough to get the best value for your time and monetary investment. Also: since so many people come just for the day, by sunset, when the crowds leave, it’ll feel like you have the villages all to yourself! This map includes the following: Monterosso: - 1 hotel; - 3 drinking and dining options; - 1 beach club; - 1 winery (transportation required). Vernazza: - 2 dining options; - 1 gelato shop.

Imagine a string of five vibrant pearls strung along a rugged coastline. This is Cinque Terre, where pastel-painted houses tumble down cliffsides, meeting the sparkling turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Unlike the bustling French Riviera, Cinque Terre offers a slower pace, a place to wander cobbled streets and savor the charm of a bygone era. Hike between villages on breathtaking trails, breathing in the salty air and the scent of lemon groves. Dive into hidden coves for a refreshing swim, or simply relax on a sun-warmed rock, mesmerized by the endless blue horizon. For a taste of adventure, explore the dramatic cliffs and hidden inlets by kayak, or delve into the underwater world teeming with colorful marine life. Cinque Terre is a place where time seems to slow down, inviting you to reconnect with nature's beauty and the simple pleasures of life.
