Full description

Explore the scenic Italian Riviera on our Winter Cinque Terre Day Trip from Florence! Visit the 4 fishing villages of this coastal national park overlooking the Ligurian Sea. Cinque Terre consists of the villages of Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore.
Each village has its own unique charm, featuring narrow alleys, terraced vineyards, and breathtaking vistas. Historically, these villages were isolated from the rest of Italy, which helped preserve their traditional way of life and architecture.
Nestled along the rugged Italian Riviera coastline, Cinque Terre is a collection of five enchanting villages that captivate visitors with their colorful houses, stunning sea views, and rich cultural heritage. A Cinque Terre day trip in Winter season offers a perfect blend of scenic beauty, historical intrigue, and cultural immersion, making it an ideal excursion for all travelers.

Itinerary

Pick you up from your accommodation in Florence at 7am. Our driver will normally be at your address at 6.45am. We will then drive to La Spezia train station which will take approximately 2 hours.

Your direct drive from Florence by private transportation stops in La Spezia.You will board the train at La Spezia Station heading to Cinque Terre. Depending on time, weather and other factors, your experienced guide will decide the order of the villages you visit.

The most southern of the 5 villages is Riomaggiore. The name comes from the major river that used to run through the town. Riomaggiore is famous for its small harbour, its tall, colorful houses and colourful fishing boats.

Moving North, we have Manorola. Manarola gets its name from a large wheel (Magna Rota) that used to power the mill in the village. Manarola is famous for its tight alleyways running up into the terraces behind the colourful houses in the harbour.

Vernazza is unique in Cinque Terre because of the small port that was built allowing ships to land in the protected bay. Here you can visit the beautiful church of Santa Margherita in the main square, or visit the Tower of Castello Dorio, home to the most amazing view of Cinque Terre. Lunch will be arranged by your guide and will be taken between 12.00pm and 1.00pm. Lunch will include local seafood dishes and fresh pasta as well as a glass or two of local wine.

Fourth village to be visited. Monterosso al Mare is the largest out of the five coastal villages. The village is located on hills cultivated with lemons, vines and olives.

Once all five lands have been seen, you will take the short ride back to La Spezia train station. Depending on time, weather and other factors, your experienced guide will arrange a boat trip between two of the villages. This trip will take you out into the Ligurian Sea and offer incredible views of the five lands from the water. Please note, on rare occasions boats may not run due to conditions at sea.

Your guide for the day will drop you back to where you were picked up. Guides can drop clients back to other locations with prior notice.
