Cinque Terre, Italy

Nature Walk in Cinque Terre

Even the most urban cities hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Cinque Terre's parks, gardens, and green corridors offer a breathing space between the landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find.

The five villages of Cinque Terre cling to the rugged Ligurian coastline in a riot of pastel colors, connected by cliffside hiking paths that offer some of the most breathtaking coastal walking in the world.

Top Nature Walk Spots

•Sentiero Azzurro coastal trail — a scenic trail winding through varied terrain, offering both exercise and stunning natural vistas along the way
•Vernazza harbor and castle — a tiny natural harbor overlooked by the Doria Castle tower, considered the most photogenic of the five cliff-hugging villages
•Manarola village views — terraced vineyards tumbling to a rocky cove, best seen from the Via dell'Amore coastal path or the small harbor at sunset
•Monterosso old town and beach — the largest Cinque Terre village with the region's only sand beach, split between a medieval quarter and a modern seaside resort area
•Riomaggiore waterfront — the southernmost village with pastel houses cascading to a small marina, connected to Manarola by the famed Via dell'Amore path

Hidden Nature Walk Gems

•Volastra — a hilltop hamlet above Manarola surrounded by vineyards, with a Romanesque church and none of the crowds of the five main villages
