Itinerary

Stop 1

Your guide will meet you at the La Spezia port, at the cruise ship terminal. From there, you'll head to the train station together to catch the train to Cinque Terre.

Stop 2

Riomaggiore is the first of the Cinque Terre villages, known for its charming pastel-colored houses that line the harbor. One of its most romantic spots is the "Path of Love," a scenic trail that once served as a meeting place for lovers before the tunnels were constructed. This path connects Riomaggiore to Manarola, offering stunning views along the way.

Stop 3

Cinque Terre consists of five charming fishing villages along the Ligurian coastline of the Italian Riviera. These villages are now connected by a network of footpaths and tunnels, but in the past, they were only accessible by sea. Today, the Cinque Terre National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its stunning beauty and considered one of Italy's most picturesque regions.

Stop 4

Manarola is perched on a high rock, standing 70 meters above sea level. The village is characterized by its steep, narrow alleys, all of which lead down to the sea. From above, you'll be treated to a stunning view, offering a unique perspective known as the "Manarola" viewpoint.

Stop 5

Vernazza is recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Its small harbor, dominated by the historic Belforte Castle, creates a charming, vintage atmosphere. The village's main square is lively, lined with restaurants, cafés, and shops, offering a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the local ambiance.
