What I can tell you about ‘le 5 terre’ (a wide territory called ‘the five lands’) is that going through it you couldn’t resist stopping and being delighted with its wonderful landscape. Le 5 terra is a stretch of rocky coastline with cliffs that includes the following 5 towns listed in order from Moneglia towards La Spezia:

Monterosso Vernazza Corniglia Manarola Rio Maggiore

Le 5 Terre shows an extraordinary landscape where the nature remains uncontaminated thanks above all to the geomorphology of the land that makes it unsuitable for residential area.
Words are not enough in order to describe the beauty of this natural resort of the East Italian Riviera in the Ligura region. You need to go there and see it with your own eyes to enjoy its magnificent beauty.
In addition to Le 5 Terre in the direction of La Spezia you can stop for a visit at Porto Venere and the Palmira islands called Tino and Tinetto well known for its singular beauty.

I underline that Le 5 Terre has became a National Park and is considered by the UNESCO “World Heritage of Humanity’ For further information visit any of the several sites on the web.

In conclusion, I give you some advice about how to get there:

The more efficient mean of transport without any doubt is the train that allows you to reach Monterosso in just 20 minutes.

The alternative way is by sea using the boat that stops at MonegliaQuello che vi posso dire sulle 5 Terre è che se passate da queste parti non potete fare a meno di visitarle.
