Book a transfer from Genoa to Cinque Terre — from Italy's greatest port city, the birthplace of Christopher Columbus and pesto, to one of the world's most iconic coastal landscapes: five impossibly colorful fishing villages clinging to dramatic Ligurian cliffs above the Mediterranean.
The 100 km journey takes 1.5 to 2 hours heading southeast along the Ligurian coast via the A12 motorway, with the rugged Apennine mountains dropping steeply to the turquoise sea.
Cinque Terre is one of the world's most beautiful coastlines — five tiny fishing villages (Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore) connected by hiking trails and railways along a dramatic stretch of the Ligurian Riviera, UNESCO World Heritage listed since 1997. Each village has its own character: Vernazza's picturesque harbor, Manarola's pastel houses cascading to the sea (one of Italy's most photographed scenes), Monterosso's beach, Corniglia's hilltop vineyard perch, and Riomaggiore's colorful stacked houses. The Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Trail) connects them along cliff-edge paths with spectacular sea views. The local Sciacchetrà dessert wine, fresh anchovies, pesto with trofie pasta, and focaccia di Recco make the culinary experience as memorable as the scenery.
