Discover the Cinque Terre: A UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Cinque Terre are five vibrant fishing villages perched along a rugged stretch of the Italian Riviera. Encapsulated in a National Park and protected by UNESCO, these villages are famous for their colorful houses, steep vineyards, and crystal-clear waters.
The Five Iconic Villages
Depending on your schedule and preferences, you can explore these coastal gems:
- Monterosso al Mare: The largest of the five, divided into an “Old Town” and a “New Town.” It boasts the only extensive sandy beach in the region and a charming historic center.
- Vernazza: Often called the most beautiful, it is built on a crag jutting out over the sea. Visit the Church of Santa Maria di Antiochia and enjoy the view of the multicoloured houses surrounding the little harbor.
- Corniglia: The only village situated on a high plateau without a direct harbor. It is surrounded by ancient vineyards and offers spectacular panoramic views.
- Manarola: A “jewel” of Gothic architecture, featuring sheltered brown houses built around the Church of San Lorenzo. It is the starting point of the famous Via dell’Amore (Lovers’ Lane).
- Riomaggiore: The easternmost village, dominated by a 14th-century castle. It is a vertical maze of steep staircases leading to the Sanctuary of Madonna di Montenero.
Experience the Riviera
During your sightseeing transfer, you can choose to move between the villages by the local ferry service for a unique vantage point of the shoreline, or walk some of the famous coastal trails. Your driver will coordinate the pickup at a convenient point to continue the journey toward the elegant resorts of the Tigullio Gulf.

After a day of exploring the rugged beauty of the Cinque Terre, we will drive you to the “Jewels of the Riviera”:
