Sightsee Riomaggiore and Monterosso

Riomaggiore is the largest of the villages in Cinque Terre and acts as its unofficial headquarters. Here, visit the church of San Giovanni Battista and the maze of narrow streets, named ‘Caruggi’. Its peeling pastel buildings are something worth admiring.

Then head towards your next destination, the medieval village of Monterosso. Here, you can visit the church dedicated to San Giovanni Battista and then enjoy the landscape and the beach of Fegina from Torre Aurora. You will also get some free time to spend on the most famous beaches or to have a typical Ligurian meal.

Breathtaking Views of Vernazza – The Pearl of Cinque Terre

Vernazza appears like the prow of a ship. Most of the village is built on a small peninsula that ends at sea with an imposing fortification system created by the Genoese. Here, you will get some free time to take a dip at the beach or shop for souvenirs.
