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: Baia del Silenzio and Sun Beach. Step out of the city life by going to Footpath Monterosso - Vernazza and Parco Nazionale Cinque Terre. Change things up with these side-trips from Cinque Terre: Pisa (Battistero di San Giovanni, Leaning Tower of Pisa, &more), Portovenere (in Porto Venere) and Spiaggia dei Balin (in Sestri Levante). There's lots more to do: take a stroll around Vernazza, hike along Cinque Terre footpaths, get to know the fascinating history of Cinque Terre Trails, and stroll through Spiaggia di Fegina.
