The Cinque Terre are five coastal villages in the province of La Spezia in Italy. "Discovered" by foreigners in the late 20th century they have come to be among the most touristed areas of Italy; they can be reached by train via the line from La Spezia to Genova Genoa.Most of the hotels in the village accept advance reservations.The best times to visit are in April-May, before the summer crowd comes, or after August, when all the crowds have left.The five villages (in order from LaSpezia) are: (from East to West): Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso. A local train connects all the five villages from La Spezia. In addition, there are well-laid out walking trails connecting each village to its neighbors. The path from Riomaggiore to Manarola is called the Via Dell'Amore (or roughly "Lovers Walk"). This winds along the shore, is very picturesque and is very easy to hike. The stretch from Manarola to Corniglia is also easy to hike. The trail from Corniglia to Vernazza is steep at certain places. The trail from Vernazza to Monterosso is by far the steepest. It winds through olive orchards and vineyards, is rough in some places but offers the best views of the bay.
