Cinque Terre, which translates to \u201cfive lands,\u201d is a district in northern Italy made up of five fishing villages scattered along the rugged Ligurian coast, all of which are linked by a hiking path that winds from village to village. You\u2019ll spend your days in the Cinque Terre hiking above pristine waters, wandering down cobblestone alleyways between brightly colored houses, consuming local specialties such as fresh seafood and pesto, and drinking Italian wine. What more could you need?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re just starting to explore the idea of traveling to the Cinque Terre, this guide is for you.

Although it\u2019s full of history, you won\u2019t find as many museums as you would in other tourist spots around Italy. Instead, the Cinque Terre is about enjoying gorgeous views during a day of moderate hiking, then settling in with a glass of wine and a bowl of pesto-laden pasta to watch the sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40799\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40799\" class=\"wp-image-40799 size-article_body\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Lasso_050614_0779.png?resize=1024%2C682\" alt=\"Night settles over Manarola.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40799\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Evening settles over the village of Manarola.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/826\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cinque Terre is made up of five fishing villages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that date back to the late Middle Ages. From west to east, the villages each have their own appeal:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Monterosso al Mare: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ancient hilltop city is the largest of the five. You can catch panoramic views from several vantage points, including the famous Old Castle and Church of Saint John the Baptist. The modern segment of the town is located at the foot of the hill; there, you\u2019ll find the largest sand beach of the Cinque Terre, colorful houses and renowned restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Vernazza: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The small village of Vernazza has a port down by the water and still contains architecture that harkens back to its days as a bustling maritime trade center. The main piazza contains dozens of restaurants, but you\u2019ll also find elaborate colonnades and decorative portals within the village\u2019s narrow alleyways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Corniglia: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small and quiet, Corniglia is best known for its excellent wines and famous clothing-optional strand, Guvano Beach. It&#8217;s the only village of the five that isn\u2019t on the coast itself but instead was built on a promontory projecting into the sea.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40802\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40802\" class=\"wp-image-40802 size-article_body\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Lasso_050414_1051.png?resize=1024%2C682\" alt=\"Tomatoes for sale at market.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40802\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fresh-off-the-vine tomatoes make for a tasty trail snack.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>Manarola: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fourth cliffside city, Manarola, offers expansive views of the ocean and surrounding terraced hillsides. The churchyard of the Santuario di Nostra Signora della Salute in the nearby town of Volastra makes a great place to take in the sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Riomaggiore: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riomaggiore is the busiest of the five villages. It has the nightlife, concerts and DJ nights, if you\u2019re into that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portovenere, located east of Riomaggiore just beyond the Cinque Terre, is a lesser-known gem. If you have time, visit Portovenere to admire its beautiful setting on the \u201cbay of poets,\u201d Byron\u2019s Grotto, great diving and hiking trails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"what-to-do\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Do in the Cinque Terre<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protected as Italy\u2019s first national park in 1999, the Cinque Terre contains more than\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parconazionale5terre.it\/Esentieri-outdoor.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70 miles of footpaths<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The most popular hike connects the five villages with well-marked footpaths, making it a great route for taking in the cliffside views. You can hike between Monterosso and Riomaggiore in one day, as it\u2019s only 7.5 miles one-way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many other options for hiking in the area outside of this well-known trail. Some other popular trails include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Levanto to Monterosso:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This moderately challenging trail starts in Levanto, northwest of Monterosso, and travels for 5 miles along an old donkey path. You\u2019ll wind through pine forests and other Mediterranean vegetation, see chapel and lighthouse ruins and take in hillside vistas before descending a set of steep stairs to Monterosso.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Riomaggiore to Portovenere: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This challenging hiking trail begins with a long ascent, which typically takes hikers around 45 minutes. Then you\u2019ll wind through quiet pine forests with epic panoramic views before you find a clifftop path overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. After approximately 8 miles, you\u2019ll descend into Portovenere. If you\u2019d like, there\u2019s a ferry that takes you back to Levanto from Portovenere.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_40800\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40800\" class=\"size-article_body wp-image-40800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Lasso_050414_0375.png?resize=1024%2C682\" alt=\"Hikers ready for the descent down one of Cinque Terre's steeper sections of trail. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40800\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hikers ready for the descent down one of the Cinque Terre&#8217;s steep sections of trail.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you arrive in the Cinque Terre, you can inquire about additional hikes at the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinqueterre.eu.com\/en\/cinque-terre-tourist-information-points\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visitor services offices<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Guided hikes through nearby vineyards, olive groves and citrus orchards can be booked through visitor services fairly easily. Depending on the time of year, you\u2019ll also want to ask the visitor services representatives (or check local publications like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cinqueterreinsider.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cinque Terre Insider<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) about landslides and trail conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the hikes in the Cinque Terre involve stairs\u2014lots and lots of stairs. Although you won\u2019t see much elevation gain overall at the end of your hike, you should be prepared to tackle steep inclines and descents all day. Consider bringing trekking poles to lessen the strain on your knees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"how-to-plan\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Plan Your Trip<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>How to get to the Cinque Terre: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cinque Terre is easily accessible by train. Most people fly into Milan or Rome. Once you\u2019re in Italy, you can make your way to the Cinque Terre by taking a train from Florence, Milan or Pisa to the La Spezia or Santa Margarita stations. It\u2019s common to start your trip in La Spezia; from there, you can connect easily to the five villages via a local train.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Transportation within Cinque Terre: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people buy the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinqueterre.eu.com\/en\/cinque-terre-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cinque Terre card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a means of traveling between the five towns. The card, which is 23 euros for an adult for two days (at the time of this writing), gives you unlimited access to the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinqueterre.eu.com\/en\/cinque-terre-timetable\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local train<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that runs between Levanto and La Spezia, stopping at each of the five villages. The trains run in each direction twice per hour. The Cinque Terre card also acts as a permit for the national park, which you\u2019ll need if you\u2019re hiking at all, and it provides access to guided tours, occasional Wi-Fi hotspots and shuttle buses, as well. You can buy the Cinque Terre card at any train station in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinqueterre.eu.com\/images\/stories\/Cinque-Terre-timetable-boats.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public ferries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also run between La Spezia and Portovenere in both directions, on the hour. They stop in every village except Corniglia during the high season, between April and October.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40804\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40804\" class=\"wp-image-40804 size-article_body\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Lasso_050914_0265.png?resize=1024%2C682\" alt=\"Flowers light up a Cinque Terre alleyway.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40804\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The villages of the Cinque Terre hold no shortage of colors, scents and sights.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no options for assisted transport within the towns of the Cinque Terre, which can be difficult for people who have young children or mobility challenges. It\u2019s worth noting that most of the trains arrive up on a hillside, so you\u2019ll probably have to make your own way down the hill with your bags because there are no taxis. So consider packing light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Money: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Italy uses the euro. Consider taking out some cash at the airport before you travel to Italy, just in case you end up at a smaller restaurant or shop that does not accept credit cards. Still, the Cinque Terre has become so well traveled that most places take credit and debit cards, and there are also ATMs in most of the towns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Where to stay in the Cinque Terre: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some good hotel options in Cinque Terre, or you can check Airbnb. You should book a hotel or room in advance, as the villages have become popular tourist destinations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you\u2019re planning to visit all of the towns, you can still stay in one town and use it as your home base. Use local transport to explore the other municipalities, as everything is quite close together. That way you don\u2019t have to pack and unpack every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40825\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40825\" class=\"wp-image-40825 size-article_body\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Lasso_050614_1028-1.png?resize=1024%2C682\" alt=\"Roses line the Sentiero Azzurro. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40825\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fragrant roses line the Sentiero Azzurro hiking trail.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>When to visit the Cinque Terre: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid the end of the summer when it\u2019s hot and crowded. Instead, aim to visit the Cinque Terre in the late spring and early summer months, from April through June. During these months, the weather is mild and the sun is shining. It\u2019s warm enough to go swimming and the ferries are running. September can also be a nice month to visit, as it\u2019s still warm and amenities are still available. During the off-season, from October through March, you\u2019ll face rain, colder weather and fewer restaurant and hotel options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to Pack: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of the hilly terrain, we recommend bringing a <a href=\"\/c\/day-packs\">daypack<\/a>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/learn\/expert-advice\/hiking-boots.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hiking boots with good ankle support<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <a href=\"\/c\/trekking-poles\">trekking poles<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider packing <a href=\"\/learn\/expert-advice\/layering-basics.html\">layers<\/a>, as the weather can change quite a bit between early morning and late afternoon.
