The Journey
Monterosso al Mare
Begin your Cinque Terre adventure in Monterosso al Mare, the largest and westernmost of the five villages. Known for its long sandy beach—a rarity in the Cinque Terre—Monterosso offers opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the Ligurian Sea. Explore the historic center, savor fresh seafood at local restaurants, and consider hiking to the iconic Aurora Tower for breathtaking coastal views. As the only village with a substantial stretch of sand, Monterosso provides the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.
Cinque Terre National Park
Immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This protected area encompasses the dramatic coastline and rugged hills of the Cinque Terre, offering unparalleled opportunities for hiking, nature photography, and breathtaking panoramic views. Discover hidden trails, admire terraced vineyards clinging to the cliffs, and breathe in the fresh sea air as you explore one of Italy's most iconic landscapes. The park is a haven for biodiversity and a testament to the harmonious blend of human activity and natural preservation.
Sanctuary of Soviore
Ascend to the Sanctuary of Soviore, nestled in the hills above Monterosso, and discover a site steeped in history and spirituality. Believed to be the oldest Marian shrine in Liguria, with origins tracing back over 1300 years, Soviore offers a tranquil escape and stunning views of the coastline. Explore the ancient church, wander through the peaceful grounds, and imagine centuries of pilgrims who have sought solace and inspiration in this sacred place. The sanctuary provides a unique perspective on the Cinque Terre's cultural heritage and a moment of reflection amidst its natural beauty.
Vernazza
Capture an unforgettable vista of Vernazza from the surrounding hills of the Cinque Terre National Park. This vantage point provides the quintessential Cinque Terre postcard view: colorful houses cascading down to the harbor, a charming church steeple rising above the rooftops, and fishing boats bobbing in the turquoise waters.
