Cinque Terre, Italy

Five pastel-colored fishing villages clinging to dramatic cliffs along the Italian Riviera, connected by scenic hiking trails and accessible by train or boat. A UNESCO World Heritage site of breathtaking beauty.

Quick Facts

  • Cinque Terre consists of five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, each with its own unique charm and character.
  • The Sentiero Azzurro, a scenic hiking trail connecting all five villages, stretches approximately 12 kilometers and offers stunning views of the Ligurian Sea.
  • The region is famous for its Sciacchetrà wine, a sweet dessert wine produced from grapes that are grown on the steep terraces overlooking the sea.
  • In 2016, Cinque Terre recorded over 2.5 million visitors, making it one of Italy's most popular tourist destinations despite its small size.
  • The villages are home to the ancient tradition of 'dry stone' terracing, which has been practiced for centuries to cultivate vineyards on the steep cliffs.
