The most magical One day in Cinque Terre

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.

This guide includes:
- introductory note
- places to visit (museums and cultural venues, open squares, beaches and others)
- restaurants and coffeeshops
- photo spots

Get Lost (But Not Really) in Cinque Terre

An Italian oasis located along the cliff side of Mediterranean Sea made up of five small towns all connected by a train. Well known for the beautiful views, rich history, delicious food & wine and stunning blue water to relax by. Make Cinque Terre your next weekend destination to explore. 

Also if you are huge Disney Pixar fans, many of these towns helped inspire the movie Luca. Have fun exploring the cities to see what all you recognize from the movie. 

Prior to visiting Cinque Terre, we didn't do much research into the area. We spent most of our time exploring and discovering along the way. This guide is to help share all of the information we gathered from our trip to help make your experience just as enjoyable.

A Weekend in Cinque Terre, Italy

Alberto Gelateria

Amazing and refreshing lemon ice cream and granita, they have other good flavours also made from Corniglia products (basil, honey...)

There are many spots to stop for gelato. You should stop at many of them, particularly if you are hiking between towns.

Try their Basil flavor, made with basil grown in their very own garden and extra virgin olive oil!



Good gelato in Corniglia- try the lemon basil flavor!
