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!
