About Cinque Terre

The Cinque Terre are five colourful fishing villages strung along the steep Ligurian coast, linked by trails, trains and boats above the sea.

The Cinque Terre are Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, five villages on a rugged stretch of the Ligurian coast in north-west Italy. Pastel houses cling to cliffs above tiny harbours, and centuries of dry-stone terraces climb the slopes, planted with vines, olives and lemon trees. The coast is a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Top-ranked sights in Cinque Terre: Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre National Park (Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre), Vernazza.
