The Cinque Terre (Five Lands) region of Italy is located on the Ligurian Coast, an hour or so from Pisa.
I haven't yet visited the whole of Italy, but from what I've seen so far, my favourite place is the Cinque Terre. Ok, the Amalfi Coast is beautiful, but the Cinque Terre is captivating. There are 5 picturesque villages perched on the cliffs and you can walk between them, amazing at the beauty that this region has to offer. It is magic here - but don't tell everyone!
Monterosso al Mare is one of the villages that make up the beautiful Cinque Terre. It is the largest of the 5, and has the main beach in the area.
There are plenty of places to stay here and lots of shops, bars and restaurants, making it a popular base for those exploring the area.
The other villages of the Cinque Terre are:
Riomaggiore
Manarola
Corniglia
Vernazza |

Can't believe I hadn't already visited this page, but so glad I did so now that we're actually planning a trip there :-) The headland walk and the strikin church look well worth a visit especially, as does that bar ;-) | RickMG Thu Nov 6, 2008 06:45 UTC
You do such a fantastic job on this and your recomendations are right on. My wife and I ate at most the places you mention in Cinque Terre and loved the ones you loved too. I will have to start submitting our trips...soon. | Maurizioago Wed Apr 9, 2008 10:19 UTC
