This area comprises five villages, famous world-wide, almost isolated by road, which currently live on tourism.

There, you’ll have some free time to explore the city center, a reminder of its grandeur as a powerful republic during the Middle Ages.Note: The train to Cinque Terre is a regular commuter service, not a tourist train.
