The Journey
Riomaggiore
Begin your Cinque Terre adventure in Riomaggiore, the southernmost village known for its pastel-colored houses clinging to steep terraces. Stroll along the charming harbor, Via Colombo, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. Don't miss the Castello di Riomaggiore, offering panoramic views, and the picturesque harbor perfect for sunset viewing. Its dramatic cliffs and colorful buildings create a stunning introduction to the Ligurian coastline.
Manarola
Reach Manarola, a jewel perched dramatically on a high, rocky promontory. This village is renowned as one of the most romantic of the Cinque Terre, famed for its breathtaking views and traditional wine production. Admire the Church of San Lorenzo, a Gothic Ligurian masterpiece dating back to 1338, and savor the local Sciacchetrà wine. The village's colorful buildings cascading down to the sea make it a photographer's dream.
Corniglia
Discover Corniglia, the only Cinque Terre village without direct sea access, offering a unique and tranquil experience. Ascend the Lardarina staircase or take the shuttle from the train station to reach this ancient Roman village surrounded by terraced vineyards. Embrace the rich agricultural heritage, sample local wines, and enjoy panoramic views of the coastline. Its serene atmosphere and agricultural landscape provide a distinct contrast to the other villages.
Vernazza
Arrive in Vernazza, arguably the most picturesque of the five villages. Explore the charming harbor, lined with colorful pastel houses, and the lively piazza. Climb to the medieval Doria Castle for breathtaking views and a glimpse into the village's history as a crucial maritime defense. Indulge in fresh seafood at one of the waterfront restaurants and soak in the idyllic atmosphere.
Monterosso
Conclude your Cinque Terre exploration in Monterosso, the largest village, boasting the area's only extensive sandy beaches. Explore the old town, dominated by the ruins of a medieval castle, and wander through the narrow, colorful 'carruggi' (alleys). Relax on the beach, savor the local Ligurian cuisine, and discover the Church of San Giovanni Battista with its striking black-and-white striped facade. Monterosso offers a blend of relaxation, history, and culinary delights.
Piazza dei Miracoli
Arrive in Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli (Miracle Square), a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to some of the world's most iconic architectural marvels. Capture the quintessential photo of the Leaning Tower, marvel at the intricate facade of the Duomo (Cathedral), and explore the Baptistery, the largest in Italy. This square is a testament to Pisa's rich history and artistic heritage, offering a breathtaking spectacle of medieval architecture.
