La Spezia
We will arrive in La Spezia, the coastal city closest to Cinque Terre. The bus driver will drop our group off at the local train station.

The train ride will take approximately 10 minutes.

Manarola
After exiting the train, you will be greeted by an absolute PARADISE! As you look to the right, you will see vibrant, green vineyards nestled into the cliffs. To your left, you will see a panorama of endless, brightly colored buildings seeming to glow under the sun. Straight ahead, the cobalt sea will be glittering with gentle waves as fishermen head out for their day of work. Enjoy exploring the town, dipping your toes in the sea, picking up some souvenirs, and taking plenty of photos! Your guide will be happy to point out the famous viewpoint (an instagrammer’s dream come true)! You will have about an hour of free time in Manarola.
