The Journey
Start Point
Begin your adventure at your chosen starting location, where your guide awaits to lead you on an exploration of the stunning Cinque Terre region and beyond. Your personalized journey promises to be filled with unforgettable moments and breathtaking scenery.
Riomaggiore
Discover Riomaggiore, the southernmost village of Cinque Terre, a captivating cascade of colorful houses clinging to rugged cliffs. Founded in the 13th century, this historic village is steeped in winemaking and fishing traditions. Wander through its steep, narrow streets, explore the picturesque marina, and soak in the authentic Ligurian atmosphere. Don't miss the iconic views from the harbor, which have inspired artists for generations.
Via dell’Amore
Take an optional romantic stroll along Via dell’Amore (Lover's Lane), a scenic cliffside path that once connected Riomaggiore and Manarola. Carved out during railway construction in the 1920s, this path quickly became a symbol of love and connection. Although currently partially closed due to landslides, efforts are underway to restore this iconic path. Check local conditions for availability and immerse yourself in the romantic aura of this legendary trail.
Manarola
Experience the charm of Manarola, a picturesque village perched dramatically on a rocky promontory. Surrounded by terraced vineyards that produce the local Sciacchetrà wine, Manarola's colorful buildings create a stunning visual tapestry. Explore its historic church, capture breathtaking sea views, and discover why this village is a haven for artists and photographers. The absence of a traditional beach adds to its unique character, offering a more intimate and authentic experience of the Cinque Terre.
Corniglia
Escape the crowds in Corniglia, the quietest and most unique of the Cinque Terre villages. Perched high atop a cliff, this hidden gem offers panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea. Unlike its sister villages, Corniglia lacks direct sea access, lending it a more peaceful and authentic atmosphere. Climb the 365 Lardarina steps or take the shuttle bus to discover its charm, savor local honey and Sciacchetrà wine, and enjoy a tranquil escape from the bustling coastline.
Vernazza
Behold Vernazza, often hailed as the most beautiful of the Cinque Terre villages. Its small natural harbor, guarded by a medieval tower and an 11th-century church, creates a picture-perfect scene. Wander through its vibrant streets, sample fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants, and soak in the timeless charm of this Ligurian jewel. Capture stunning photos from the Doria Castle, offering unparalleled views of the village and coastline.
Monterosso al Mare
Relax and unwind in Monterosso al Mare, the largest Cinque Terre village, renowned for its sandy beaches and lively promenade. Divided into the old town and the new town, Monterosso offers a diverse experience. Lounge on the beach, swim in the crystal-clear waters, indulge in fresh seafood at seaside restaurants, and explore the historic Capuchin Monastery. Monterosso is the perfect place to soak up the sun and embrace the quintessential Italian coastal lifestyle.
La Spezia
Conclude your unforgettable tour in La Spezia, a vibrant port city with a rich maritime history. Explore the Naval Technical Museum, stroll along the scenic promenade, and savor the local Ligurian cuisine. La Spezia serves as a gateway to the Cinque Terre, offering a blend of urban charm and coastal beauty. Reflect on your Cinque Terre adventure as you enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of this dynamic city.
