Start by hopping off the train at Riomaggiore and stroll down Via Colombo, where the scent of freshly baked focaccia fills the air and charming boutiques and cafés line the street. Make a detour to the 14th-century Church of San Giovanni Battista, a Gothic treasure featuring a stunning rose window and peaceful interior.

After Manarola, make your way to Corniglia, the smallest and most peaceful village. Explore narrow streets lined with colorful houses and unique local shops.

Lastly, hop off the train at Monterosso al Mare, the largest and most vibrant village in Cinque Terre, and take in the breathtaking views of the Ligurian coast. Enjoy a relaxing stroll along the region’s only sandy beach, where you can soak up the sun or watch the lively beachgoers.
