Facing the charming Italian Riviera, the Cinque Terre (Five Lands) is a gorgeous cluster of five different port towns, fairly close to one another guarded by the impressive hills of Liguria’s vineyards. Featuring tiny fishing harbors, cobblestoned alleys winding up the hill, and enchanting pastel-colored tiny houses, the five little settlements make an excellent place to visit in Italy.

Whether you’re planning to hike along the coast to explore them or you’d rather jump on the Cinque Terre Train to visit, this guide will tell you everything about the best things to do in Cinque Terre, and how to get there or when to visit.
