Cinque Terre's charm extends beyond its colorful villages and Instagram fame. Discover a world of activities and sights waiting to be explored.

Hiking: The iconic Sentiero Verde Azzurro (Blue Trail) connects the five villages and is well-trodden. But you can easily avoid the crowds because the UNESCO park has a network of invigorating hikes for the fit and adventurous.

On the Water: Explore the coastline from a different perspective with a boat or kayak tour between the villages and swim and snorkel in hidden coves.

Relaxing on the Beach: While Cinque Terre beaches tend to be small and rocky, they offer a refreshing escape after a day of exploration. 

Wine Tasting: Immerse yourself in the local culture with a wine-tasting tour. Sample the region's crisp white Vermentino or the renowned sweet Sciacchetrà dessert wine.

Foodie Delights: Savor fresh seafood dishes and local specialties like focaccia, pesto, and limoncello. Some of the best restaurants also treat you to a view of the Mediterranean Sea.

Historical Gems: Each village boasts its own historical treasures. Explore the Doria Castle in Vernazza, the Church of San Giovanni Battista in Riomaggiore, or the Santa Maria Assunta sanctuary in Manarola.

Festivals: Embrace the local spirit with the many festivals, colorful processions, and celebrations throughout the year.

Cinque Terre's charm extends beyond its colorful villages and Instagram fame. Discover a world of activities and sights waiting to be explored.

Whether it’s hiking, water excursions, time on the beach, foodie experiences, or museums and historical tours, there’s something for everyone.

Levanto has plenty to offer, including a long sandy beach, a cute historic town, shops, and restaurants serving traditional cuisine.

This itinerary covers a lot of ground. The one-day adventure starts with an (optional) hike from Monterosso, lunch in Levanto, and sightseeing around the historic town.

And of course, you’ll have the opportunity to taste Ligurian cuisine at locally selected eateries and enjoy an aperitivo with a view out over the sea.

The itinerary is well-structured so that you know where you need to be and when.  And (because everyone is a little different), we’ve included options so that you can customize it to make your own adventure.
