What To See And Do in Cinque Terre

It is hard to compete with the natural beauty of Cinque Terre.  Cinque Terre has such a lovely calmness.  It may be the sound of the waves or the fresh, crisp air, but it is definitely a piece of paradise.  We stayed in Monterosso al Mare, so I will be concentrating on that village.

  • Soak in the sun and crash in the waves on both beaches - Old Town and New town
  • Walk the streets filled with the most treasured shops and restaurants
  • Hike from one village of Cinque Terre to the next.  If you are feeling brave enough, hike all of them
  • Take the ferry boat to each of the villages
  • Leisurely walk each of the villages

What the Kids Will Love in

Cinque Terre

All of the above and:

  • Playing with and collecting rocks on the beach.
  • Splashing in the warm water
  • Savoring a strawberry daiquiri or pina colada (non alcoholic of course) at the beach side restaurant
  • Picking out paper cones full of fried fresh fish for lunch on the beach
  • Playing at the wonderful playgrounds on all of the villages- even better, meeting local kids to play with at the parks
  • Walking the shops in the villages with beautifully tiny colored glass sculptures and lemon flavored treats
