Cinque Terre - photos of fabulous Italy

Cinque Terre (Cinque Terre) from Italian translates as "five lands." This poetic name marks on the map the territory of a national park in the Liguria region in the north-west of the country, which is visited annually by millions of tourists from around the world.

Five fishing villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

There are travel restrictions for travelers in the Cinque Terre. It is forbidden to drive a car, so everyone gets to Riomaggiore by train from Genoa or La Spezia. The road takes up to two hours.

Between the villages they travel on regional trains or, as tourists increasingly arrive, take walks. Moreover, special training is not required for this. Everyone will overcome the distances. See for yourself:

  • Riomaggiore - Manarola - 20 minutes;
  • Manarola - Corniglia - 45 minutes;
  • Corniglia - Vernazza - 1.5 hours;
  • Vernazza - Monterosso - 1.5 hours.

The beaches and access to the sea in the Cinque Terre are steep with a stone bottom. Only in Vernazza and Monterosso there are places where you can lie on the warm sand.
