The Cinque Terre National Park is by the sea on the eastern Ligurian coast. The park includes five villages, Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore. The main feature of this landscape is that the man was terraced for its agricultural activities.
Since 1997, the Cinque Terre National Park is a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
To visit the Cinque Terre, we recommend if you stay several days in the area not to stay in the villages but in the back country or otherwise in Levanto or in the Gulf of Poets.
Indeed the Cinque Terre is a place much visited a tourist impressive mass. In addition to travel and navigate the 5 villages, there is a train system from Levanto Spezia or simple to use.
