Cinque Terre
Where to stayCinque Terre is composed of five distinct villages (Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore), each with a unique profile. In 2026, tourism management in the region has become even more focused on preservation and the visitor experience.
- Monterosso al Mare: The ideal choice for those seeking beaches, full-service hotels, and ease of access (it is the largest village and the only one with a significant sandy beach). Best for families and those traveling with large luggage.
- Vernazza: Considered the most picturesque, ideal for couples and those seeking the "postcard" experience. It is very busy during the day, but magical at night.
- Manarola and Riomaggiore: Perfect for those wanting dramatic sunset views and a livelier nightlife atmosphere. Access is steeper and requires physical fitness.
- Corniglia: Located on top of the hill, it is the quietest and most authentic option. It requires climbing 382 steps (Lardarina) or taking the bus from the station.
Transport Tip: In 2026, using the *Cinque Terre Card* (train + trails) is essential. Avoid cars at all costs; the villages have limited traffic zones (ZTL) and parking is extremely expensive and distant.
