Situated just north of Pisa along Italy’s rugged coast, Cinque Terre (designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is made up of five picturesque towns marked by layers of colorful buildings that cascade down towards the seafront harbors.

Because the towns are linked by scenic trails that offer panoramic views and intimate encounters with local flora and historic sites, hiking is considered one of the best ways to experience Cinque Terre’s beauty. But just because you’re hiking doesn’t mean you have to rough it up all the way. Luxury Cinque Terre tours perfectly blend comfort and adventure.
