8 days in Cinque Terre Itinerary

Made up of five picturesque towns on the Ligurian coast, Cinque Terre is Italy's answer to the French Riviera.

We've included these beaches for you: Spiaggia di Fegina and Beach Bar Alga. Discover out-of-the-way places like Borgo Storico di Corniglia and Borgo Storico di Riomaggiore. There's much more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Convento dei Cappuccini e Chiesa di San Francesco, learn about winemaking at Buranco Agriturismo, admire the landmark architecture of Chiesa Di San Pietro, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Borgo Storico di Manarola.
