Best things to do in Cinque Terre
Find out more about those top places in Cinque Terre
Stretching between the seaside resort of Levanto and the port of La Spezia, the Cinque Terre is one of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in the world. The region’s name comes from the five pastel hued fishing villages that are wedged near vertically into the coastline’s rugged coves and cliffs. Visitors can walk between the five villages on vertiginous paths that hug the cliff sides while the less adventurous can hop on a vintage railway that connects the villages through a series of ingenious tunnels. The villages have scarcely changed since the late-medieval period and were rightly designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Today, the villages can become swarmed with tourists in the peak-summer months. However, a visit to the Cinque Terre in spring or autumn remains one of Italy’s most enchanting experiences.
