Cinque Terre is located in the Liguria region of Italy, and is part of the province of La Spezia. The “Five Lands”, as it translates in English, is a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of five small towns on the Mediterranean coast.<\/p>\n

Cinque Terre’s towns, Monterosso al Mare<\/a>, Vernazza<\/a>, Corniglia<\/a>, Manarola<\/a> and Riomaggiore<\/a>, are all connected by the Via dell’Amore<\/a> hiking trail and by local trains<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Buying a Cinque Terre Card<\/a> is essential if you plan to get between towns on your visit, as they allow access to the hiking trails and entitle pass holders to free train travel.<\/p>\n

Cinque Terre is known for its great seafood, which can be sampled at restaurants<\/a> throughout the region. The area also produces its own wine<\/a>, the grapes for which are grown on the terraced hillsides above the sea.<\/p>\n

There are great hotels<\/a> in all of the five towns<\/a>. They range in style from apartments to boutique accommodations and larger properties. <\/p>\n

Most times of year<\/a> are good for visiting Cinque Terre, as the climate is mild. The summer is hot, the spring and autumn warm, and the winter is cool. The best weather<\/a> is in the warmer months, as winters can be very wet and rainy, and the hiking trails are often closed.<\/p>\n

Getting to Cinque Terre is easy, and is best approached by train<\/a>. It is most convenient to get to Cinque Terre by train from Pisa<\/a> or Genoa<\/a>, as they have the closest airports<\/a> to the five towns. It is also easy to get to Cinque Terre from French cities like Nice<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
