The Journey
Riomaggiore
Riomaggiore, the southernmost village of Cinque Terre, welcomes you with its colorful houses cascading down to a tiny harbor. Steep, narrow streets reveal panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea, while the Via dell'Amore, a scenic walking path, connects Riomaggiore to Manarola (currently closed for repairs). Explore the Castello di Riomaggiore, a 13th-century fortress offering stunning vistas, and savor fresh seafood at one of the harbor-side restaurants, capturing the essence of this enchanting coastal village.
Manarola
Manarola, famed for its vibrant, stacked houses clinging to the cliffs, is a photographer's paradise. This picturesque village is one of the oldest in Cinque Terre and is renowned for its Sciacchetrà wine. Lose yourself in the maze of narrow caruggi (alleys), discover hidden viewpoints overlooking the turquoise waters, and enjoy a delicious seafood meal at a trattoria with breathtaking views. Don't miss the illuminated Nativity scene during the Christmas season, which transforms the hillside into a magical spectacle.
Vernazza
Vernazza, arguably the most charming of the Cinque Terre villages, boasts a natural harbor and a captivating medieval atmosphere. Dominated by the imposing Doria Castle, offering unparalleled coastal views, Vernazza invites you to wander through its colorful streets, relax on its small beach, and savor the freshest seafood. The village's picturesque waterfront, dotted with vibrant boats and bustling with local life, makes it an unforgettable stop on your Cinque Terre adventure.
Monterosso
Monterosso al Mare, the largest of the Cinque Terre villages, is known for its sandy beach and vibrant atmosphere. Divided into two parts – the old town and the new town (Fegina) – Monterosso offers a blend of historical charm and modern amenities. Relax on the beach, swim in the crystal-clear waters, explore the Aurora Tower offering panoramic views, and indulge in local specialties like anchovies and pesto. Monterosso provides the perfect opportunity for relaxation, exploration, and savoring the Ligurian lifestyle.
