You'll find rugged beauty and a slow pace in the Cinque Terre. Named for the five towns of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, this portion of the Italian Riviera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cars aren't allowed, so take local trains or ferries to go from town to town—or walk one of the spectacular trails that connect them.

We came to Cinque Terre with the Walkabouts Tour and part of that tour is the hike from Vernazza to Corniglia on Trail 2C. The trail can be strenuous for some as the first part is uphill. But if you have the time, it is worth it. The views are spectacular! The main difficult part is to keep yourself from constantly stopping to take pictures! Be sure to bring enough water, sunglasses a hat and good shoes. Several of us finished this hike in approx. an hour. The tour gave us two hours to finish the hike.

Breathtaking views from this (sometimes) challenging hike. Now there is a ticket to buy to be able to do the hike, but it means that the path is well looked after and very safe! It was a great experience! And when finally Monterosso came to sight, we had a feeling of achievement!!

Visited 3 towns out of 5 in cinque terre, Rio maggiore, Manarola and Monterosso. Drove first to Manarola from La Spezia, car park is about 1 km uphill, then have to walk to the sea, Manarola is most picturesque among the five towns, must visit, walk back upto the parking was little tiring, however the train station is very near to the sea and right at the bottom. Next was Monterosso, this is only town with a sandy beach. Parking is right next to the beach. Good for a swim. Last was Rio maggiore on way back to la spezia, walk is about 500-700 Meter from car park which is again uphill, with train station in between. Good restaurants at Rio maggiore and Manorola , specially one on the hill top at Manarola. The other two towns are more or less same and can be skipped if running short of time.

Cinque Terre's 5 Villages are very beautiful. Drive to these places are awesome. Some one recommended to go when we planning the trip to Italy. From Venice we went to Florence by train. From there we took a car to Pisa and Cinque Terre. 5 Village towns are beautiful. I wish we took a train and stayed in one of the village. Extreme caution needed as the roads are too narrow. Even the rental cars have some dent or other. So Watch and train may be a better option If you have time, spend atleast couple of days in Cinque Terre. Overall Italy was a nice trip with Architecture and history tours at Venice, Florence, Rome, Pompei etc. and Cinque Terre and Almafi coast with good Mediterranean beach experience

The SVA path between Vernazza and Corniglia is a pleasant walk offering some amazing views. The path will cost you 7.50 to walk, which you can get as part of the wider Cinque Terre pass. It's popular with tourists so expect plenty of company.

We really enjoyed to walk (from Monterosso to Manarola). It gives you the glimpse of the feeling of the people here who have created the impressive terrasses. While hiking you enjoy wonderful views of the towns, the coastline, the landscape. We did the tour the other way round, good footwear recommended.

To have a walk in this wonderful nature park with a stunning view to the sea and the castle on the mountain, the coloured houses, the beach, this nice bay; this sentiero is romantic and takes a lot of time, enjoying its mild climate, and sometimes the wild wawes and soaking it all in.
