Italian Riviera Tours and Tickets - page 28
Italian Riviera
- Even if you’re not hiking the famed trails along the Cinque Terre and Ligurian Coast, many of the traffic-free coastal villages can only be explored on foot. Wear comfortable shoes and plenty of sunscreen.
- Beachwear is not worn off the beach in the Italian Riviera, so bring a change of clothes if you pair beach time with sightseeing.
- The Cinque Terre villages are very crowded during the summer months, and a boat tour is an ideal way to escape the throngs.
- You must purchase a Cinque Terre Card to access the hiking trails. The train and trail pass includes unlimited train and bus rides within the park.
- Because of the steep streets and crowds, the Cinque Terre is challenging for families with young children. Opt for the less crowded and level resort towns of Sestri Levante or Santa Margherita Ligure instead.
- Restaurant space is limited on the coast—book a table well in advance or plan on eating local street food specialties like focaccia or frittura (fried seafood).
- The Cinque Terre towns are very steep and difficult to navigate with a wheelchair. More accessible towns include Sestri Levante and Santa Margherita Ligure.
