Start your full-day adventure from Florence to the stunning Cinque Terre and Portovenere. Travel in comfort by coach to La Spezia, the gateway to this UNESCO-listed coastline. From the port, begin your journey with a scenic coastal cruise, enjoying panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea as you sail to the charming seaside town of Portovenere.
Explore Portovenere at your own pace. Wander through medieval streets, admire the colorful harbour, and visit the iconic Church of San Pietro perched on the cliffs. Stop at local shops or relax in a café while soaking in the breathtaking scenery.
Next, board a second boat cruise from Portovenere to Monterosso, the largest village of the Cinque Terre. During the cruise, enjoy an unforgettable perspective of all five villages from the water — a true highlight of this iconic Italian coastline. Upon arrival, take free time to have lunch, swim, shop, or explore the historic streets. Afterwards, take a short train ride to Manarola, one of the most picturesque Cinque Terre villages. Discover its colourful streets, terraced vineyards, and postcard-perfect harbor at leisure. Capture photos, stroll along the waterfront, or simply enjoy the village atmosphere.
Conclude your day with a final coastal cruise back to La Spezia, marvelling once more at the dramatic cliffs and charming villages along the Riviera. Return to Florence by coach, bringing with you unforgettable memories of one of Italy’s most scenic and iconic destinations.
