Cinque Terre: Day trip From Florence + Optional Hiking

Embark on a mesmerizing journey through the kaleidoscopic world of Manarola at the National Park. Be captivated by the vibrant buildings and lush vineyards that adorn this picturesque corner of the world. A panoramic stroll offers a delightful introduction to the breathtaking scenery.

Next, a swift train ride transports you to Corniglia, where an exhilarating challenge awaits - a climb of 380 steps from the station to the clifftop village. The reward? Breathtaking views of the glistening sea and rolling hillsides, making every step a triumph!

After a leisurely lunch, the adventure escalates with a two-mile hike along ancient mule trails, skirting the edges of stunning, steep cliffs. These trails serve as historical lifelines between the hilltop hamlets of the Cinque Terre. For a more relaxed journey, opt for the tour sans hike, where the train shuttles you between villages. The expedition continues from Vernazza to Monterosso via a brisk train jaunt. Monterosso, renowned for its impressive beach and artisan shops, is a delight to discover. Finally, weather permitting, thrill-seekers can enjoy an exhilarating boat ride along the coast to Riomaggiore.
