Partner site Tourism in Italy suggest a hiking experience along the coastal path as part of a Cinque Terre vacation on your Europe tour. Cinque Terre is on Italy’s western coast in the Liguria region . Many locations are not accessible by car, therefore ferry, train or foot are best methods of transport to explore this beautiful area.
Italy – Cinque Terre 5, by travellingtamas
The five villages of Corniglia, Manarola, Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza and Riomaggiore are joined together by the coastal path. Different hiking abilities are required for the various stretches of this very long coastal route, and there are some locations along the way where it is possible to exchange the car for hiking shoes. The route Monterosso/Vernazza/Corniglia is the most demanding, while Corniglia to Manarola may be appreciated at a much gentler pace. You can choose your preferred route varying from a level thirty minute stroll to a demanding whole day hike.

Mack – Thanks for your tips about visiting Cinque Terre. I haven’t been the area yet but it looks so beautiful, don’t think I’d manage the whole day hike though.
