Discover the breathtaking beauty of the Cinque Terre on an unforgettable day trip from Florence. Nestled between Genoa and La Spezia, this coastal paradise features five colorful villages perched on dramatic cliffs overlooking the Ligurian Sea. With winding roads, limited parking, and strict park regulations, visiting Cinque Terre on your own can be challenging. That’s why a guided Cinque Terre tour is the best way to explore this UNESCO-listed wonder. Travel in comfort from Florence to Manarola, then enjoy a scenic train ride through Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare, with time to swim, shop, or simply relax. Cap off your journey with a boat ride to Portovenere, another stunning village filled with history, sea views, and the famous Byron’s Grotto. This expertly curated tour lets you experience the best of Cinque Terre in one day —stress-free and full of unforgettable sights, sounds, and stories. A must-do for nature and culture lovers alike!
