Day 11 (see my Italy page for our full itinerary)

Monterosso al Mare was our home base for the Cinque Terre region. It was not our first choice. We really wanted to stay in Vernazza, which we had heard was the prettiest. As it turned out, Monterosso al Mare was just fine. It may not be as pretty or as secluded as the other towns, but it has a character all of its own.

Monterosso al Mare most resembles a typical Italian Riviera town with its hotels and a nice beach. The difference is that it is much smaller and much less crowded.

    Great page!!! This part of Italy is on the top of my travel wishlist! I've travelled quite a bit in Italy but missed this part so far. I don't know why though... it looks so beautiful!!!

    wow walking 5 hours would be hard going but fortunately you don't have to, the train sounds great. Each sounds like they have character of their own.
