Your destinations —
Cinque Terre
Nestled along the Italian Riviera, Cinque Terre is a gorgeous region comprised of five colourful cliffside villages that are surrounded by dramatic hills and vineyards. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 15 km stretch of coastline is well known for its incredible hiking trails, picture-perfect views, and quaint village atmosphere, and makes for a memorable Italian coastal break!
The area’s five main villages all offer something different for visitors, and if you have the time, it’s worth visiting them all - the dedicated Cinque Terre train from La Spezia runs once an hour, and makes stops at them all. Riomaggiore, the first stop on the line, is the largest, with a clifftop medieval castle; the next stop, Manarola, is the place to try the Cinque Terre’s wine, Sciacchetrà, while further down Corniglia is unique in that it does not have direct access to the sea, instead of being perched atop a dramatic cliff. Vernazza has a romantic harbour, and Monterosso offers visitors a charming beach.
Along the coast, sample Pasta alla Genovese, with the region’s delicious pesto, or some traditional focaccia; or, discover some of the equally charming towns along the Ligurian coastline. La Spezia features a spacious port and plenty of charming trattorias, while Levanto is on the very cusp of Cinque Terre, and is the ideal starting point for a long hike along the coast.
Lake Como
Often referred to as the ‘Italian Lake District’, Lombardy is a varied region filled with stylish cities, stunning countryside, and breathtaking mountains. As Lombardy is located in the north of Italy, hugging the border with Switzerland, visitors to this region might be tempted to congregate in Milan, its capital. However, when leaving the city, there is so much to be found in the mountainous regions to the north. Between Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Garda there are a wealth of options for a lakeside break.
In the shadow of the snow-covered Rhaetian Alps, Lake Como is home to sumptuous villas with cascading, luscious gardens, while a trip to Lake Maggiore offers unforgettable views of the tranquil Borromean Islands. On the shores of Lake Garda, Gardone Riviera is a laid-back tourist resort with a charming promenade and plenty of opportunities to take a pleasure cruise across the lake.
If you’re hankering for a city trip, Milan offers it all - the birthplace of some of the world’s foremost fashion houses and home to a stunning Gothic Cathedral. Don’t miss the chance to see Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic mural The Last Supper, housed in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in the city.
