The colourful Town Route of Cinque Terre has made this area a must-visit spot on any trip to Italy. As you walk from village to village over rugged cliffs along the former mule track, beautiful towns appear full of brightly coloured building set against the turquoise water of the Ligurian Sea. Enjoy the steep agricultural terraces and flowering alleys as you find yourself in the Riviera of Flowers and settle down in a small fishing harbour for a frothy cappuccino or gelato.

Day 1 – Arrival Cinque Terre

Today you will arrive on the rugged and colourful coast of Cinque Terre. In this area there are five fishing villages, each more colourful than the last, meaning you’ll want to find a way to visit them all. It’s good to be aware that this is a popular spot, which is why you’ll be staying small-scale hotel that is slightly away from the coast where it’s a bit quieter. You can still easily explore the area from here, enjoying the villages and the coastline by train, walking, boat, or a mix of the three.

Day 2 – Explore the five fishing villages

This morning it is good idea to get up and get out as early as possible. The sunrise light is a stunning way to view this coastline and you will also avoid some of the busier times of day. Stroll through the narrow streets and enjoy the views from the coastal walkway, using your navigation app to get handy tips and walking routes. Every village has something new to offer, but don’t worry an ice cream or Italian cappuccino is available everywhere.

Day 3 – Departure from Cinque Terre

It’s now time to get in the car and head for drier land. You can either deicide to explore Tuscany on a Vespa or go wine tasting at a typical Italian agriturismo near Lucca. If you’ve now got the hiking bug, you can venture to the lesser-known part of the Alps: Piemonte.
