What to see and what to do

Cinque Terre: what to see in Vernazza, Monterosso, Manarola, Corniglia and Riomaggiore.

The Cinque Terre are the most unspoiled and fascinating natural part of Liguria and the Tyrrhenian coast. Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Monterosso and Vernazza are the countries suspended between sea and land that give life to the Cinque Terre.

In this region, benefiting from an excellent climate, olive and citrus trees thrive, but above all the vines, from which an exquisite wine, known from the Cinque Terre, that made the region famous, since it had European fame in some centuries; wine, especially the sweet wine, is still very much appreciated in Liguria.
