[2024 Sunshine Beach Restaurant] Travel Guide for Cinque Terre (Updated Sep)

5 Unique Towns

Cinque Terre, the five towns, is a string of five ancient fishing villages perched high on the Italian Riviera just south of Genoa in northwest Italy. The tiny villages were until recently linked only by mule tracks and accessible only by rail or water. Cinque Terre is one of the Italian attractions. It is formed by 5 different towns all locate in different areas along the coast. They are Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. It has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I started my trip at La Spezia station and bought a return tickets because I needed to return to La Spezia later on the day to board my cruise ship to extend my trip. On the train toward to Clinque Terre, I only need one ticket and I can hop on and hop off to all towns after each visit. The stations between are only about 10 mins away. So I have plenty of time to visit all of the towns. They are have their own characters and unique vibe. It is also a popular destination for tourist to spend a few days in one town. It has some nice beaches and nice restaurants and cafe. If you want to spend your vacation on a small, unique and Italian town. Cinque Terre is the perfect spot for you.
