Set amid some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on the planet, the name Cinque Terre literally means ‘five towns’. From south to north, they are Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso.
"The only way to explore all of the villages of Cinque Terre is to get out and walk. No road traffic here!"
