Cinque Terre & The Italian Riviera

Cinque Terre & Italian Riviera holidays offer romantic scenery, charming yacht-lined harbours and tastes of local wines and bruschetta.

The nearby picturesque gem of Portovenere, situated on the gulf of the region, is equally as popular and often referred to as the sixth Cinque Terre town. Travel by train throughout this stunning part of Italy and witness some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on the planet.

Cinque Terre

This UNESCO-protected stretch of coastline features the five ancient fishing villages of Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. These picturesque seaside towns are perched high on the cliffside, their pastel-coloured façades an iconic staple of the Cinque Terre background. Enjoy exploring these beautiful towns, hiking around the national park and taking in the dazzling views of the Mediterranean.

Rapallo

A buzzing coastal town known for its authentic local atmosphere and ease of access to the rest of the region, with frequent ferries, trains, and buses making it a great base. The prominent Castello sul Mare, a 16th Century fortress on the edge of the towns harbour, now a cultural venue, is an iconic landmark worth visiting. For those after beautiful panoramas of the Tigullio Gulf, take the cable car up to the basilica Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montallegro.

Genoa

One of the largest ports in Italy, Genoa, nicknamed La Superba due to its dominant past, features the largest medieval old town in Europe. Famous as the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, the rich history can be seen all around, from the labyrinth of medieval alleyways packed with centuries-old churches to the UNESCO World Heritage listed Palazzi dei Rolli.

Portofino

Nestled on the Italian Riviera, this crescentshaped fishing village depicts the iconic pastel-coloured buildings synonymous with the area.
