The Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of the coast on the Italian Riviera.
It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia.
The "Five Lands" comprises of five villages.... Monterossa al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore.
The coastline, the five villages and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the CINQUE TERRE NATIONAL PARK and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Over the centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliff that overlook the sea. Part of its charm is the lack of visible corporate development. Paths, boats and trains connect the villages and cars cannot reach them from the outside.
