The Cinque Terre are five villages in Italy. They were "discovered" by foreigners in the late 20th century, and they have become among the most visited areas of Italy. They can be reached by train via the line from La Spezia to Genoa.
Most of the hotels in the village accept reservations. The best time to visit is in April-May before the summer crowd comes. It is also nice to visit after August, when all the crowd has left.
The five villages in order from East to West are Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso.
A local train connects all the five villages from La Spezia. In addition, there are walking trails connecting each village to its neighbor. The path from Riomaggiore to Manarola is called the Via Dell'Amore. This winds along the shore. It is very pretty and is very easy to hike. The trail from Corniglia to Vernazza is steep at certain places. The trail from Vernazza to Monterosso is by far the steepest. It winds through Olive orchards and vineyards. It is rough in some places but offers the best views of the bay.
