Parco Nazionale Cinque Terre, Cinque Terre

You need to pay a 7.5 eur fee to enter the national park and use the trails, unless you have train tickets to visit all 5 villages. The trail is very steep in some places and there is no shade in some parts. It was already quite crowded and very hot in May, so I suggest visiting it earlier than that (or in Autumn I guess). The experience was still worth it!

Beautiful area with tranquil villages on cliffs by the sea. There is a very nice hike passing through all of them which isn’t too hard. There is also a railroad between them so you can hike one way and get the train back. This place can get very crowded with tourists but it is as beautiful as the pictures so you should definitely visit.

Getting here was a hassle but it’s nice here. Get to take some nice photographs and some descent hikes. The food here is not that good as I’m pretty sure it’s all tourist traps but it’s still fun to wonder around. Some of the villages are better than others. I would highly recommend visiting if possible.

Loved the experience of traveling between the 5 towns- had our favourites. The train makes traveling so convenient. Be warned- get fit before going- it can be quite exhausting and if knee are an issue, take hiking poles along.

An awesome parc along the coast with several colorful villages along the route. There are several parts that can be travelled by foot or by train. The hiking path is a must see with several nice viewpoints between the vine and olive yards. Just make sure to wear good footwear and to bring some water.
