Spectacular coastal views from the vineyard trails. Walkable village with excellent local food. Peaceful early mornings and sunset walks. Well worth going a little out of your way.

A genuinely lovely place. My advice: go early, take your time, and skip the busiest hours.

Getting around

The Cinque Terre card covers trains and trails

Worth it if you hike. Trains run every 20–30 minutes between villages.

Heads up

Some trails need advance booking in summer

Via dell'Amore now has timed entry. Check before you go.

Stay in Levanto for cheaper rooms

One train stop away, calmer, and has a proper beach.
