Cinque Terre (Five Lands) is marvellously nestled off the rugged hillside of the Italian Riviera. It comprises the five fishing villages of Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The five villages, coastline and hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
Over the years, the residents have shaped the cliffside with a series of terraced walls that historians have compared to the Great Wall of China. Added to its quaint beauty is the absence of industrial development where cars are banned from getting around. If you need to invigorate your spirit, Cinque Terre is a destination that will never fail you.
