At a glance · 5 reasons to go
Why Cinque Terre.
Five pastel villages — Monterosso to Riomaggiore — perched over the sea.
Hike the cliffside trails between them, or hop the local train.
Fresh pesto (born in Liguria) and just-caught seafood.
Swim in rocky coves and sip wine on terraces above the waves.
Car-free, walkable, and impossibly photogenic.
