The Journey
Florence
Begin your adventure in Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. While the city serves as your starting point, soak in the anticipation of the Tuscan countryside and the Ligurian coast awaiting you. Enjoy a personalized pick-up and a comfortable ride, setting the stage for a day of exploration and discovery.
La Spezia
La Spezia serves as your gateway to the Cinque Terre. As a vital port city, La Spezia connects you to the five enchanting villages by train. While here, take a moment to appreciate the city's maritime history and its strategic location on the Ligurian coast, a perfect prelude to the colorful adventures ahead.
Riomaggiore
Discover Riomaggiore, the southernmost village of Cinque Terre, where history meets vibrant coastal life. Named after the 'major river' that once flowed through it, Riomaggiore captivates with its small harbor, stacked colorful houses, and traditional fishing boats. Wander through its narrow streets, savor the fresh sea air, and immerse yourself in the authentic Ligurian atmosphere.
Manarola
Explore Manarola, a village sculpted by time and tradition. The name 'Manarola' originates from the large wheel (Magna Rota) that powered the village mill. Famous for its steep, winding alleyways and vibrant houses clinging to the cliffs, Manarola offers a unique and unforgettable visual experience. Lose yourself in its charm, capture stunning photos, and experience the heart of Cinque Terre.
Corniglia
Ascend to Corniglia, the only Cinque Terre village not directly accessible by sea, perched 100 meters above the coastline. Named after the Roman family Gens Cornelia, this smallest village rewards those who climb the 383 steps of the Lardarina or take a convenient bus. Experience a quieter, more secluded atmosphere, and enjoy panoramic views that stretch across the Ligurian coast, a testament to its unique charm.
Vernazza
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Vernazza, arguably the most picturesque village of Cinque Terre. Its unique harbor, built to allow ships to dock in its protected bay, sets it apart. Visit the charming Church of Santa Margherita in the main square, or climb to the Tower of Castello Dorio for breathtaking views of the coastline. Vernazza's enchanting beauty and historical significance make it an essential Cinque Terre experience.
Monterosso al Mare
Visit Monterosso al Mare, the largest of the Cinque Terre villages. Nestled amongst hills cultivated with lemons, vines, and olives, Monterosso offers a blend of natural beauty and coastal charm. Stroll along its sandy beach, explore its shops and cafes, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of this lively village. From here, embark on a scenic boat ride to discover the other villages from a unique perspective.
Ligurian Sea
Sail along the Ligurian Sea, experiencing the Cinque Terre from a breathtaking perspective. A boat trip between the villages offers unparalleled views of the coastline, showcasing the vibrant colors and rugged beauty of the five lands. This maritime journey provides a unique and unforgettable way to appreciate the charm of Cinque Terre, allowing you to capture stunning photos and create lasting memories.
Tuscan Countryside
The Tuscan Countryside is the heart of Italy. As you travel from Florence to La Spezia, you'll pass through rolling hills dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and charming towns. Take in the stunning scenery that unfolds before you, providing a taste of the authentic Italian landscape. The Tuscan countryside sets the stage for the coastal beauty and unique experiences that await you in Cinque Terre.
