After breakfast, transfer to Santa Margherita station to catch your train to Vernazza, one of the five villages of Cinque Terre. Arrive in Vernazza, transfer to your accommodation and check in.

Cinque Terre attracts all kinds of travellers—from those seeking Mediterranean luxury to sun-worshiping beachcombers and outdoor adventurers.

The best part of having your base in Vernazza is that majority of the hotels overlook the city so you are usually always going to have a great view.

Spend the day exploring this small harbour town. Hike up to the castle for some wonderful photo opportunities, visit the beach to swim in the warm waters, and sip some wine in the piazza.

Accommodation in Vernazza

Start your day early to explore the other towns of Cinque Terre.

Hike to Corniglia and endeavour to climb the 300-step staircase the town is famous for. Check out what are arguably some of the best panoramic views from atop the highest village in Cinque Terre. It’s the only village where it’s possible to see each of the Cinque Terre towns from a single terrace.

Next hike to Manarola. This is one of the most popular towns and it is likely you’ve seen this town in photos, postcards or paintings. Manarola is famous for producing the Cinque Terre wine, Sciacchetrà made from the grapevines that surround this village. Visit a charming wine bar to sip a glass or two. You’ll find it hard to stop yourself from clicking multiple photos of the town’s coastline and the cerulean ocean beyond.

Hike to Riomaggiore, the southernmost village known for its candy-coloured houses. Spend your time walking the cobbled streets and narrow alleys. While away your time at the beach or stroll along the coast.

Conclude your day as you relax on a sailing trip at sunset along the Ligurian Coast headed towards Vernazza. Though the footpaths and villages of the Cinque Terre are lovely to explore by land, this stretch of coast is particularly spectacular when seen from the water. In a unique atmosphere that only this picturesque bay at sunset can offer, admire the fascinating landscape of lights and colour of the villages of Cinque Terre.

In case, you do not wish to hike between the villages, feel free to hop onto a train that connects each town.

Accommodation in Vernazza

Today, start the day at ease. Relax in one of the cafes in Vernazza town centre and enjoy the sweeping views.

Later, hike or catch the train to Monterosso, the final village of Cinque Terre. Monterosso is the largest village and is split into two sections- old and new with a tunnel connecting the two sides. While the other villages of Cinque Terre have beaches, they’re often rocky and pebbly rather than sandy. Monterosso is home to Cinque Terre’s only true sandy beach. Rent a beach umbrella and a deck chair and enjoy your day in the sun and sand.

Today, ride a vintage Vespa through Tuscany.

Your Vespa tour will begin in central Florence, where you’ll meet your guide for a brief safety overview and practice ride before hitting the road. Saddle up on your original Vintage PK Vespa, a classic model no longer produced, and follow your guide through the city streets until you reach the outskirts.
