CINQUE TERRE TOURS FROM LUCCA DETAIL

The Cinque Terre, meaning “five lands”. They are a handful of tiny dwellings clinging to the steep cliff edges of the Liguria coast. Protected by a National Park, the area is a haven for walking enthusiasts; it offers pathways snaking the coastline with spectacular panoramic views; sparkling turquoise seas; picture-perfect villages characterized by colorful little houses. And the food and wine isn’t bad either: focaccia genovese and white wines like Sciacchetrà are a must-try.

Each terra has its own distinct character:

  • Riomaggiore, the southernmost village, is famed for the wine grown on its steep vineyards;
  • Manarola feels a bit more rustic than its neighboring villages, and exudes charm;
  • Corniglia, the only village not on the sea, offers breath-taking bird’s eye views of the scenery;
  • Vernazza is known for the church sitting on the water edge;
  • Monterosso, the northernmost village, has a long stretch of sandy beach.

In our Cinque Terre tours from Lucca we offer three standard itineraries. These are, however, intended to be a guideline only: all our tours are totally flexible and we can take you exactly where you want to go.

Please be aware that excursions to the Cinque Terre involve a fair amount of walking; we recommend you bring suitable footwear. You should also know that in the summer months the Cinque Terre can become very crowded with visitors.
