Cinque Terre National Park

Why go

The dry-stone walls show how generations made cultivation possible on slopes that fall sharply toward the sea. From village lanes or a suitable path, you can read that relationship in the terraces, compact settlements and indented shoreline. The protected landscape is the point of the visit, rather than one park entrance or viewpoint.

What to look for

• Dry-stone walls hold narrow vineyard terraces on the steep hillsides.
• Small villages sit between the cultivated slopes and the high, broken coast.
• The shoreline shifts between cliffs, coves and rocky headlands.

Useful to know

• Pick a village or named trail as your starting point; a general park map pin will not lead to one entrance.
• Check current trail conditions and pass rules with the park before setting out; individual routes differ from general park access.
• Allow for steep terrain if you plan to leave the village streets for the vineyard slopes.
