What to do in Cinque Terre
About 50 miles east of Genoa on the Italian Riviera, Cinque Terre is one of the most celebrated and dramatically stunning parts of Italy. Five ancient villages (Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore) are linked by the walking paths of the Via dell'Amore, and the towns dangle off rocky cliffs plunging into a turquoise ocean.
