Cinque Terre
The five charming settlements that dot the jagged cliffs and steep hillsides above the Ligurian Sea have gained notoriety. A train connects Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. It also connects with a route that skirts the fields covered in vines and is occasionally dug into the sheer cliffs. The settlements of the Cinque Terre preserve their isolation and their picturesque, narrow roads dotted with colorful homes despite being well-liked by tourists. Small harbors give areas to swim in between treks and provide protection for fishing boats.
The Cinque Terre region and its culture are protected as a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, respectively. The draw of the Cinque Terre is its natural beauty and relaxed mood, not the usual must-see landmarks, churches, or museums. The Cinque Terre Semi-Private Day Trip from Florence is a convenient way to get there. It lasts for a full day and includes round-trip transportation in an air-conditioned minivan, a cruise between Manarola and Vernazza, entrance fees for the coastal walking path, and free time to explore the villages. Eight individuals or less ensures personalized attention. Join the Cinque Terre Hiking Day Trip from Florence for a more strenuous experience and hike a 5.5-kilometer section of the well-known Cinque Terre walking trail between villages with a guide. The excursion includes transportation from Florence on an air-conditioned coach, a 40-minute boat ride along the Riviera, a train ride between cities, time for a swim, and time for swimming.
