This full day Genoa shore trip visits the stunningly beautiful Cinque Terre. You travel by vehicle, train and or boat between some of the most charming villages in the world, a bucket list destination for people around the globe.
The Cinque Terre, or Five Lands, is one of Italy's most idyllic seaside clusters of villages. It is now a National Park that protects about 10 miles of rocky coastline. Within the park are five villages tucked into small inlets or perched on rocky promontories.
Time has stood still for these five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Until the last hundred years they were not even accessible by car or train, only by boat or footpath. As a result the residents adapted to their natural surroundings. Buildings start at the sea and climb the cliffs toward the sky, and terraced hills have been cultivated with vineyards and olive groves for centuries.
After meeting your guide and driving to the Cinque Terre, your first stop is the village of Manarola. You enjoy a walk through the enchanting village with its tiny fisherman's wharf. Next you board a boat (weather permitting) or the train and depart for Vernazza.
In Vernazza you have free time to explore the local shops and enjoy lunch (meal not included) while taking in this picturesque village huddled around its small harbor.
Later in the afternoon you take another boat (or train) to Monterosso al Mare. After a short walk you have free time again to explore. Consider sampling the local lemon liqueur or visiting one of the wine tasting rooms.
After visiting Monterosso you walk to the nearby car park, where your vehicle is waiting to take you back to Genoa.
