The Cinque Terre are five colourful villages overlooking the sea, linked by trails among terraced vineyards. A national park and UNESCO site, they are explored on foot, by train and by boat.

- The trails through the vineyards and the sanctuaries above the villages
- Kayaking along the park’s coast
- A Sciacchetrà tasting and a pesto class
Practical tips
- Some trails need a park card or may be closed: check first.
- The regional train links the villages: easier than a car.
- Wear hiking shoes: the trails are steep and rocky.
When to go
April to October; spring and September are the best months for walking.
