What to expect
Borgo Storico di Manarola
Free time in Manarola which is renowned for its dramatic cliffside location, with colorful houses perched on steep slopes overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Ligurian Sea. The stunning views of the village against the backdrop of the Mediterranean make it a photographer's paradise.
Via dell'Amore
The name "Via dell'Amore" translates to the "Path of Love" in English, and the trail lives up to its romantic reputation. The path is lined with benches, love locks, and beautiful murals that add to its romantic ambiance.
Chiesa di San Lorenzo
Like much of Manarola, the Church of San Lorenzo benefits from a stunning coastal location. It offers breathtaking views of the village, the Ligurian Sea, and the surrounding cliffs, making it a popular spot for visitors to capture the beauty of Cinque Terre.
Santa Margherita di Antiochia Church
The church features a simple yet elegant architectural design typical of many Italian coastal churches. Its façade is characterized by a mix of white and black stone stripes, a common architectural feature in the region.
Castello Doria
The castle occupies a strategic position on a promontory overlooking the village and the Ligurian Sea. Its location allowed it to provide protection to the local population and control access to the harbor during times of threat.
Vernazza
Then you will move to Vernazza, a village overlooked by the remains of a Medieval castle with a cylindrical tower in which you can enjoy some free time.
Church of San Francesco - Capuchin Friars Monastery
If you wish to avoid the tourist places go up to this beautiful church that dominates the Cinque Terre and offers beautiful views. Just be prepared to climb as it is pretty uphill.
Borgo Antico
Monterosso is unique among the Cinque Terre villages because it's divided into two parts. The older, historic section, Monterosso Vecchio, is characterized by its ancient structures and fortified walls. The newer part, Monterosso al Mare, features more modern amenities and a lively beachfront promenade.
Spiaggia di Fegina
Enjoy some free time on the main beach in Monterosso. Fall in love with its crystalline water and weather permitting have a swim.
Il Gigante
Like the other villages in the Cinque Terre, Monterosso boasts a rich history that is reflected in its architecture. You can explore narrow medieval streets, ancient churches, and charming squares that transport you back in time.
Monumento a San Francesco d'Assisi
Located uphill close to a monastery you can admire a statue dedicated to San Francis of Assisi. This place will give you a unique panorama over the riviera. Just be prepared to climb some steps as the monument is uphill.
Oratorio della Confraternita dei Neri Mortis et Orationis
This Church is located in the historical center of Monterosso and has a beautiful baroque style facade
Portovenere
Free time. Portovenere, often referred to as the "sixth village" of the Cinque Terre, is a captivating coastal town located on the Italian Riviera. The Gulf of Poets, where Portovenere is situated, has long been a source of inspiration for poets and artists like Lord Byron
