Itinerary

is the last village you will see, on your way back to Florence ( even it would be the first coming from La Spezia!). It is divided into three separate parts: the station, where the trails towards Manarola depart; the center of the village, where the trails to the Church of Montenero and Portovenere begin and the fishermen’s district.
1 h
The semi-destroyed walls of the fortress and the two towers are the only things that remain of the castle of Riomaggiore.These defensive structures were built high up, so a stretch of the Blue trail and the shoreline of Riomaggiore can be seen from the terrace of the castle: take a photo and impress this enchanting moment!
20 minAdmission included
The second town you will see is Manarola, a little urban pearl identified by typical Genoese style ‘case-torri’.
1 h
Also known as the church of St. Lawrence, it is dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. It was built in the early part of the 14th century in the Gothic Style by the famous architect Maestri Antelami. The interiors are richly decorated and the charm is still intact. The brass relief designs on the arch are the symbols of the martyrdom of St. Lawrence.
15 minAdmission included
It is the most beautiful village of Cinque Terre, small and very picturesque. Thanks to an ideal climate, plenty of sunshine and little wind there are many olive groves and vineyards.
1.5 h
Corniglia is the smallest village of Cinque Terre. It is set on a cliff 100 meters above sea level, and the railway station is located in the lower part of the village. The tiny town, then, can be reached on foot by climbing the staircase ( about 380 steps) or with the bus that leaves every 10 minutes after arrival of the train.
1 h
Via Fieschi runs the entire length of the village of Corniglia, from the bus stop. It is a small and narrow little street where you can enjoy a walk. Via Fieschi passes through the main square of Corniglia and terminates on the panoramic terrace of Santa Maria, from where there is a view of the Riviera.

About Genoa

Genoa, the great port of the Ligurian coast, is a city of steep medieval alleys, grand palaces and an old harbour once ruled by merchant families.

Genoa curves around a deep natural harbour with mountains close behind, so its streets climb steeply. It was a maritime republic in the Middle Ages, and the merchant families built palaces along Via Garibaldi and the Strade Nuove, now listed by UNESCO as the Rolli palaces. The cathedral of San Lorenzo has a striped black-and-white façade, and the Lanterna, an old stone lighthouse, marks the western end of the port.
