This curated route follows the Ligurian coast from Genoa to Cinque Terre, connecting six towns of distinct character. The distances between them are short, allowing travel at a relaxed pace — by car or along the coastal railway line, depending on your mode of transport. The final leg leads to Cinque Terre, where the villages are most easily explored by train as access by car is restricted. Over six days, the journey moves through a historic port, fishing villages with colorful facades, elegant Riviera promenades, and a finale among the cliffs and villages of Cinque Terre. The route is most enjoyable from May to October.
