Why Cinque Terre National Park matters

Cinque Terre is five villages on a rocky coast: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Steep terraces drop to the sea, and trails and a train link the villages. The scenery is wild and photogenic.

Talking points

  • Five villages sit along the coast.
  • The train is quick between them.
  • Walking trail availability varies.
  • Early or late visits avoid crowds.
