2. Arrive at Manarola by black mercedes minivan and from there you will take the boat to Monterosso al Mare.Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name "Manarola" is probably a dialectical evolution of the Latin, "magna rota". In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to "magna roea" which means "large wheel", in reference to the mill wheel in the town.

4. From Monterosso al Mare you can hike to Vernazza (120 minutes), or take the train instead enjoying just a 5 minutes ride. To hike in the footpath there is a tickets to pay on your own onsite. If you decide to hike you will have just 10 minutes to spend in Monterosso al Mare. These ancient trails are rough but manageable. Be prepared for the hiking – although the path is open to everyone, remember that the ground can be slippery, uneven, and in places steep and narrow. The charm of the area is that it is natural and unspoiled; do not expect handrails or safety rails when steps are steep or when the path is close to the cliff edge. The driver will follow the small group by train.

About Florence

Florence, de wieg van de Renaissance, bundelt meesterwerken van kunst en architectuur in een compacte stad van stenen straten langs de Arno.

De Duomo, met Brunelleschi's enorme rode koepel, Giotto's klokkentoren en de vergulde deuren van het Baptisterium, markeert het centrum van de stad. Een paar straten verder kijken de Piazza della Signoria en het Palazzo Vecchio uit op een loggia vol beelden, en in de Uffizi hangen Botticelli, Leonardo en Rafaël. Michelangelo's David staat in de Galleria dell'Accademia.

Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
