The Journey

1

Riomaggiore

Riomaggiore, the southernmost village of Cinque Terre, welcomes visitors with its colorful houses cascading down to a tiny harbor. Known for its steep, winding streets and the Via dell'Amore (Lover's Lane) – a scenic path carved into the cliffs leading to Manarola – Riomaggiore offers breathtaking views and a taste of authentic Ligurian life. Historically a center for winemaking, it invites you to explore its terraced vineyards and savor the local Sciacchetrà wine.

2

Manarola

Manarola, famed for its iconic harbor scene and vibrant, stacked houses, beckons with its romantic charm and stunning views. Explore the village's narrow alleys leading to the sea, indulge in fresh seafood at a waterfront trattoria, and admire the pastel-colored buildings clinging to the rocky coastline. The village is a photographer's paradise, particularly enchanting at sunset when the houses glow with golden light. Don't miss the famous Manarola nativity scene during Christmas, illuminating the hillside.

3

Corniglia

Corniglia, the only Cinque Terre village not directly accessible by sea, sits atop a 100-meter-high rocky promontory, offering panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and vineyards. Reachable by climbing the challenging Lardarina staircase (365 steps) or by shuttle bus from the train station, Corniglia rewards visitors with a quieter, more authentic experience. Explore its narrow streets, sample the local gelato made with Corniglia honey, and soak in the breathtaking vistas from the village's scenic terraces.

4

Vernazza

Vernazza, widely considered the gem of Cinque Terre, captivates with its picturesque harbor, colorful houses, and elegant medieval architecture. Explore the Doria Castle, perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea, and the Santa Margherita d'Antiochia Church, a stunning example of Ligurian Gothic architecture. Wander through the village's charming streets, savor fresh seafood at a harborside restaurant, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of this captivating village.

5

Monterosso

Monterosso al Mare, the largest village of Cinque Terre, boasts the only long sandy beach in the area, making it a perfect destination for sunbathers and swimmers. Explore the historic center with its medieval towers and colorful houses, visit the Aurora Tower offering panoramic views, and relax on the beach in Monterosso's new town, Fegina. Enjoy a delightful blend of relaxation, exploration, and Ligurian culture in this vibrant coastal village, known for its lemon trees and anchovies.
