Cinque Terre is a magical destination made up of five unique villages along the Italian Riviera: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. Famous for its colorful cliffside houses, stunning coastal views, rich history, and scenic hiking trails, it’s an unmissable spot for those who love both nature and culture.

Getting to Cinque Terre

By Plane: The two closest airports are Pisa International Airport (Galileo Galilei) and Genoa Airport (Cristoforo Colombo).

From Pisa: Pisa is about 90 km from Cinque Terre. After landing, take the PisaMover from the airport to Pisa Centrale, the city’s main train station, where you can catch a train to La Spezia. From La Spezia, the Cinque Terre Express will take you to the villages.
From Genoa: Genoa is about 100 km away. After landing, head to Genoa Piazza Principe train station and take a direct train to Monterosso or La Spezia. The journey takes about 1.5 hours.

By Train: Trains are the most convenient and popular way to get to Cinque Terre. Whether you’re arriving from Rome, Florence, or Milan, take a high-speed train to La Spezia and transfer to the local Cinque Terre trains. Trains run approximately every 15 minutes during peak hours.

From Florence: Direct trains take about 2.5 hours to La Spezia.
From Milan: You can reach La Spezia in about 3 hours.
From Rome: It’s a 4-hour trip, with direct trains available.

By Car: Driving in Cinque Terre is not recommended, as the villages are car-free, with narrow roads and limited parking. If you’re driving, park in La Spezia (either at the La Spezia Migliarina station or in designated parking areas), and take the train into the villages. The parking lots fill up quickly in high season, so arrive early.

Secret Tip: If you’re coming by train and want to avoid La Spezia crowds, get off at Levanto, a town just north of Monterosso. You can park here or transfer to the Cinque Terre Express with fewer crowds.

Choosing Which Villages to Visit

Each village in Cinque Terre has its unique atmosphere, sights, and specialties. While all five are close together, they offer distinctly different experiences.

Monterosso al Mare:

The largest and most tourist-friendly village, Monterosso is known for its sandy beach—the best in Cinque Terre for sunbathing and swimming. The town has two parts, the old town (with medieval streets and churches) and the new town, which has more modern accommodations and restaurants.

What to Do:

Take a Seaside Walk: Walk along the scenic seaside promenade connecting the old and new towns. Along the way, stop at the small harbor or enjoy an aperitivo at one of the many waterfront cafes.

Relax on the Beach: Monterosso is the only village with a proper sandy beach, perfect for sunbathing and swimming. The beach in Fegina is the largest and most popular, but if you prefer a quieter spot, head towards the far end of the village.

Explore the Old Town: Wander through the medieval streets of the old town, filled with charming shops, cafes, and local markets. Don’t miss the beautiful Church of San Giovanni Battista, with its black-and-white striped facade and historic bell tower.

Cinque Terre is known for its hiking trails, with paths offering incredible views of the sea, vineyards, and the villages themselves.

Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Trail): This trail connects all five villages. The path from Monterosso to Vernazza is considered the most scenic but also the most challenging, with steep climbs and descents.
