parco nazionale cinque terre

这五个滨海小城..实在是太有特色了..如果有时间的话真应该走一走联络各小镇之间的trail...色彩缤纷的房屋与绝美的景致..有迷人的沙滩...有岩岸...实在是太赞了..附带一提..这里离比萨还蛮近的..可以顺道往南去看比萨斜塔^^

五渔村最著名的爱之路还是没有开通，实在是有点遗憾！村与村之间的火车间隔有时太久了，有时间还是徒步走走吧！据说它是世界上最适合徒步的地方之一！不知道是下雨还是别的原因没有船！有机会一定要住一晚上看看晚霞和日出！

This place is a tourist trap. It's like Disneyland for middle-aged American tourists who don't know how to pronounce Cinque Terre. The food isn't great, the "locals" looked rather jaded and acted relieved to find some tourists who spoke Italian.The views are gorgeous so I was happy to spend a weekend here – it was worth the trip given the low cost I paid to visit. Don't stay too long and spend your money elsewhere. If I had been visiting from outside of Italy, I'd consider going elsewhere. You can walk around and take some nice photos, but that's about it.

If you are planing to go to Italy, this is one of the place you cannot miss out!It has all the colour and tradition of Italy. The only negative side it is not easy to reach with a car as well as very crowded during summer season.My suggestion is to reach La Spezia and then buy a train ticket to visit every town. Much more convenient. If you have any physical limitation is not highly recommended. Uneven paving as well as several steps.Do not miss out the ice cream in Vernazza. It was soooo good!

Our trip here was much anticipated, but was a big disappointment, Portovenere was far superior. Visited in mid October, but still shoulder to shoulder throng of tourists in every village, most of our time was spent waiting for over crowded trains that are far too infrequent and unable to get on trains due to them being so full. Villages are undeniably beautiful, but too small for the huge amount of tourists invading each day, none of us enjoyed it and would not return.

Stay in CInque terre at least 3 days/2 nights.. If you want a cheaper stay, choose la Spezia, near the trains station and easy access to Cinque Terre. Manarola is the most beautiful of the cities, Corniglia is the most charming, but with loooong stairs, and monterosso, very suitable for swimming..

We were unsure whether to visit Portovenere on a recent trip to the Cinque Terre. Originally we were intending to spend most days walking the trials and a half day boat trip along the Cinque Terre coastline. However, with two of the costal legs closed we decided to make a full day of our boat trip, and extending it from Monterosso al Mare in the north down to Riomaggiore and then on to Portovenere. I am very please we did. The boat trip provides you with an opportunity to view the Cinque Terre coastline and villages from an entirely different perspective, and to check out the walking route you took from sea level, and then to extend your trip down the coastline to Portovenere. A different experience to the Cinque Terre ports, Portovenere, with its many attractions, is also a wonderful place to visit, explore and spend some time in. A great day out.

You would be doing yourself an injustice if you stayed on the Cinque Terre for any less than 4 days. We were there in September and experienced excellent weather in the mid-20s. Staying in Vernazza, we would walk between one or two towns each day and catch the train back for the evening. This worked well for us. The paths are narrow and some paths are closed due to landslides from time to time. But there are always alternatives ... some of which require a reasonable level of fitness.

If you are in relatively good health, this is one of the must dos in Cinque Terre. Is doesn't matter what town you are in, you can hike from one to the next. There are varying degrees of difficulty, but all offer spectacular views. I have hiked three of the trails and enjoyed the experience each time. Take a nice scenic walk. It makes relaxing with your wine after a lot better. Tip: You may need to buy a card to hike some of the trails.Tip 2: Currently the main (easy) trail between Riomaggiore and Manarola is closed. The alternate trail is a lot more difficult.

A visit to Cinque terre was my wish for a long, long time, so we went for my mum's 60th birthday. And it was all I wished for and more! Five small, colorful, picturesque villages linked together with trails and trains :) The first one if you are coming from La Spezia, where we slept, is Riomaggiore, a wonderful beginning and a glimpse of what follows. Unfortunately, Via del' Amore, a very easy, 20 minute, paved trail from Riomaggiore to Manarola was closed due to landslides, so we went by train, it takes about three minutes. The train is a great way to see all the villages in one day, they have a time table and are really fast. The second one, Manarola, was my favorite, beautiful, with great restaurants and views to die for. We went back there in the afternoon, to wait for the sunset. The third one, Corniglia, is on top of the hill, you need to climb some 300 stairs to get to the village, and it's worth it. But you can get to the top with a bus also, there is a time table on the station. It's famous for it's organic produce and wine. The fourth one, Vernazza, is also very beautiful and interesting, but with slightly worn down facades. We went there in October, and the weather was beautiful, temperature like in the summer just without the crowds. An ideal time to visit, if you ask me.

The Cinque Terre are a lovely place to visit with stunning walking trails between the five villages. We stayed in Corniglia which is the smallest village and is not overrun with tourists so is much nicer and quieter. The walks between Corniglia and Vernazza and between Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare are pretty straightforward for anyone used to longish walks. The high walks between Corniglia and Manarola, and between Manarola and Riomaggiore are much tougher but manageable for experienced walkers. The low walks between Corniglia and Manarola and then Riomaggiore were closed due to landslides, but are apparently very easy and level if in operation.The weather was fantastic and we were amazed at how the locals never wear hats even when it is quite sunny.

We started the tour with a 2.5 hour bus ride to enter the region in a downpour in Firenze and I was gutted, but in no time the weather changed and the wonderful trek ensued. The guides provided lots of good tidbits of information and history all the way to the first "pit stop." The day included a hike, multiple train rides, and a wonderful boat ride, including plenty of free time for some roaming around on your own at each stop and really good instructions about where to meet and what came next (including a wine tasting, yum!!). The lunch was delicious after hiking up over 400 steps and strolling through the first village. The views were absolutely fantastic. and the main hike was after lunch so the seafood and pasta were good fuel. You hike at your own pace and you feel it the next day. In a delicious kind of way. Our group was large so we split in two between the very knowledgeable young guides who obviously loved their work (Fabian? and the lovely [apologies my dear]).Bring sunscreen, wear sneakers, have your camera or cellphone handy, wear comfy clothing and carry a small backpack. Water is available on the bus ride to the first stop. Bring small denomination Euros and addresses in your head because you have time to send postcards from each village. Who wouldn't love to receive a postcard from these lovely villages?Do have the gelato in Vernazza, and munch on the seafood mix as you stroll in Monterosso. Sit on the left of the boat when riding to Rommagio ... Have money for souvenirs to buy the flat pasta that looks like a giant crepe, to get some good extra virgin olive oil and even cute tees to commemorate this unforgettable journey through Cinque. This hiking day trip is a must and is without a doubt the best way to explore this area. You can always come back again for a leisurely visit. October is a great time to visit because it's just the right amount of sun and breeze that you need for the walking.If you have little time this is an excellent tour and Walkabout (Florence) is *the* best option for this experience. So do it!

It's hard to call this a park since it's really a handful of small towns built into the mountain side & liked by hiking trails & the train. Plan to spend a full day there unless you only have time for one of the 5 towns. Also, be prepared for crowds especially if a cruise ship is in port. If & when we return, I think it would be best to stay in Monterosso.

We stayed in an apartment in Monterosso and this was really good, it was a two bedroom apartment and had all the facilities required, it was also not far from the water and the cafe's along the walk. There are two sides to Monterosso, the old city and the new city. The old city is just lovely, lots of little lanes to explore and taverna's to have a drink and a lovely reasonable lunch or dinner, lots of shopping as well. They also have shops for Lemoncello to try and buy. The new city has the cafe's on the beach and the beach is all set up with deck chairs (which you are charged for and is quite expensive) and this is where a lot of young people go to swim etc. There are some lovely walks that you can do from village to village as there are 5 in the park, but you have to be very fit, as they are long walks and not flat walks, over mountains etc but the scenery is very beautiful, definitely worth a visit

This review is not for the park, but for the region..... We had looked forward to our tour to the Cinque Terre as a highlight of our recent cruise..... Sadly the crowds and some rude behavior ruined the experience. The best town was actually where we began, in Porto Venere (where a shopkeeper offered samples of the best pesto we could ever imagine!) we then caught a ferry, and had to bypass docking in Vernazza as scheduled due to poor weather. That put us (and every other visitor, apparently) into Monterosso. We enjoyed the tour there, and had a wonderful lunch. But the train trip from there to Vernazza was crowded, and a bit scary, as the tour guides kept warning us about pickpockets and such. Vernazza was horrible... too crowded to get around easily, and we encountered a very rude barkeeper who thought we were trying to use his restroom (door right at the entrance) without buying anything, when we were actually headed in for a beer! That left a very bad feeling about the town and the entire excursion, and we felt they should have better restrooms for the public in a place that can get so busy! The train ride from Vernazza back to La Spezia was even worse, with standing-room only, and more warnings to not trust anyone else around us! Not an enjoyable experience at all.The area was absolutely beautiful, but we had thought this would be the quieter, less crowded, more relaxed alternative to visiting Florence, and we were VERY wrong! We felt sorry for these towns that are so over-run by tourists, but it is unfortunate that they can't find a way to handle the crowds more graciously!
