Cinque Terre Sights

  1. Chiesa di Santa Margherita

    Vernazza's tiny harbour is a delight, so perfectly quaint you'll think you've wandered onto a film set. The small waterfront piazza is watched over by the harbourside gothic church of Santa Margherita di Antiochia complete with bell tower which has stood here since 1318.

  2. Torre Guardiola

    Walkers with a keen eye for nature should make a beeline for Torre Guardiola, a nature observation and birdwatching centre on Fossola Beach. You can follow a botanical walking trail from the centre and along the coast.

  3. Via dell'Amore

    The Via dell'Amore (Lovers' Lane) is a well-paved coastal path linking Manarola with Riomaggiore (1km/0.6mi). Studded with picnic areas and stone beaches embedded in the cliffside, it affords stunning ocean views. At either end, steps lead up from the train station to the path - checkpoints along the way ensure no one sneaks by without a valid trail pass.
