Introducing the Cinque Terre

Overview

This magnificent coastal area—a UNESCO-listed national park (along with Porto Venere and the islands of the Gulf of La Spezia)—has become a highly popular tourist destination. Visitors come to discover its stunning landscapes, its five small villages, its beaches, and especially to hike one of the world’s most beautiful coastal trails. The only downside: crowds (too many!) in peak season!
