About this experience
Start on an enchanting journey from Milan to the picturesque Cinque Terre, a series of five vibrant coastal villages nestled along the stunning Italian Riviera.
From La Spezia, we board a scenic train that takes us to Monterosso, the largest and perhaps the most charming of the Cinque Terre villages. Here, you'll have ample free time to explore the narrow winding streets, soak in the local atmosphere, and indulge in a delightful lunch.
Following the exploration of Monterosso, the journey continues with a panoramic cruise to Portovenere, reveling in the breathtaking coastal views. In Portovenere, you'll have the opportunity to wander through its narrow streets, visit historical sites, and appreciate the beauty of the seaside during your leisure time; Then we cruise back to La Spezia in order to catch the bus to Milan.
In the case of adverse sea conditions, the charming village of Manarola will replace Portovenere, and all transfers will be seamlessly conducted by train.
