The Cinque Terre: A Village for Every Mood
Take a day trip from Florence to Cinque Terre and experience five moods in one day.
(firmenpresse) - Italy’s Cinque Terre is renowned as one of the most beautiful places in Europe, and even the
world. The five villages, connected by the same precarious location clinging to the rugged
and beautiful coastline, are equally charming in their own way and everyone who visits
probably secretly has their favourite.
For those considering a day trip from Florence to Cinque Terre, there’s actually no need to
do any research to choose a favourite, but if you’ve never been to this gorgeous area you
might want to know what joy you’re in for…
Five Villages, Five Moods
If you’re holidaying in Tuscany, the opportunity to take a day trip from Florence to Cinque
Terre is one that shouldn’t be missed. Whether you undertake the entire walk (and train ride)
between all five of the villages or not, however much or little you do see will be truly
memorable. Here’s what you have to look forward to.
Monterosso
As the largest of the five, Monterosso is naturally the busiest as well. It’s very well facilitated
with lots of hotels, restaurants, cafes and shops. The beautiful sandy beach is the biggest
and best of all five and there are deck chairs and umbrellas to hire. Monterosso has a lively
and very friendly ambience and is quite clearly defined by its old and new sections – so it’s
both touristy and historically preserved. Mood: lively.
Vernazza
Vernazza is considered by many to be the most picturesque of all the villages, with its lovely
cove protected by a natural rock pier. Rather than hotels, the accommodation is mainly in
bed and breakfasts and private houses. There’s a gorgeous piazza encircled by bars, cafes
and restaurants, and the pastel-coloured houses that creep up the steep hill from the port
make this a much-photographed little place. Overlooking the village is the medieval Belfort
castle. Mood: romantic.
Corniglia
Corniglia is the least touristy, but don’t think that means it’s not as gorgeous. Unlike the other
four, it’s not actually built jutting out into the ocean, but on a hillside – with no access from
the sea. It has a long history of agriculture dating back to the Roman times, with the
surrounding landscape defined by terraces of vineyards and olive groves. While it feels (and
looks) more like an inland town than a seaside one, Corniglia is charming in its preservation
of traditional life. Mood: local.
Manarola
Manorola sits high on the rocks of the coast, with its jumble of houses wedged in tight. It
seems almost plucked from the pages of a picture book, with its miniature harbour, tiny
central piazza and steep, winding streets leading down to the sea. While the ‘beach’ is
virtually non-existent, the water in the harbour is deep very close to shore, so it’s wonderful
for swimming. Mood: enchanting
Riomaggiore
Riomaggiore is reached by the ‘Via dell’Amore’ (Lover’s Lane) from Manarola and is a fitting
finale to the journey along the cliffside trail. It’s the quietest and most laidback of the villages,
characterized by traditional stone houses with their aspects facing out to the ocean. The
small natural harbour curves in between the rocks and pretty coloured houses are perched
right on the edge of the sea. Mood: laidback.
Travel from Florence to Cinque Terre
So there you have it: a village for every mood! The good news is you can experience all
those moods on a day trip from Florence to Cinque Terre. When you’re planning your
holiday, whatever you do, don't leave this off the itinerary.
