About this experience

Over the past decade, Cinque Terre has evolved into the quintessential Italian dream destination. The five enchanting villages are truly otherworldly, and you will experience a sense of walking on clouds as you explore them.

To preserve the charm of these beautiful towns, traffic has been restricted. Your designated driver will drop you off in Riomaggiore and pick you up in Monterosso (or vice versa), providing essential information for navigating the towns at your own pace through public transport.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Riomaggiore village, dating from the early thirteenth century, is known for its historic character and its wine, produced by the town's vineyards

With barely 350 inhabitants, Manarola is the second-smallest little village out of the Cinque Terre and will surely steal your heart away

Perched on the top of a promontory about 100 metres high, surrounded on three sides by vineyards and terraces, the fourth side descends steeply to the sea, Corniglia will pierce your heart with its unforgettable views

With a zero traffic policy, Vernazza remains one of the truest fishing villages in the Italian Riviera. Famous for its elegant houses is the only one in Cinque Terre with a natural port of its own

Monterosso al Mare is located at the center of a small natural gulf, protected by a small artificial reef. The town is divided into two distinct parts: the old town and the new town. The two areas are divided by a single tunnel that caters to pedestrians and the very few cars in the town
