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.
Must-sees:
- Monterosso: The largest of the Cinque Terre villages, Monterosso boasts beautiful beaches, vibrant coastal views, and medieval charm.
- Vernazza: Known as the most picturesque village in Cinque Terre, Vernazza features colourful buildings, a charming harbour, and the iconic Church of Santa Margherita di Antiochia, perched above the sea.
- Riomaggiore: The first of the Cinque Terre villages, Riomaggiore offers dramatic cliffs, terraced vineyards, and a tranquil atmosphere.
Culinary culture:
Cinque Terre’s culinary scene is heavily influenced by its coastal setting. Indulge in fresh seafood, including anchovies, mussels, and clams, or try the region’s famous trofie pasta, often served with pesto, the Ligurian specialty.
Dive deeper:
Walk the cliffside paths between the villages for breathtaking views of the Mediterranean coastline and terraced vineyards. Explore the lesser-known village of Corniglia, perched above the sea with panoramic views and fewer crowds, or take a boat ride for a different perspective of these stunning coastal towns.
Good to know:
Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its villages are connected by train, ferry, and scenic hiking trails. The best time to visit is during the spring or autumn when the weather is mild, and the crowds are thinner. Be prepared for steep hills and winding paths – comfortable walking shoes are a must.
