This ancient hamlet is famous for its hot springs, first discovered by pilgrims on their way to Rome.
Since then, popes, saints, and statesmen have stopped by the town square – essentially unchanged since the 16th century – for a rejuvenating soak. The water still comes from the same underground aquifer as it did then. Go on and dip your feet in the thermal water before puttering around in the bookshop.
Comprised of five distinct towns - Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore - Cinque Terre offers a unique and enchanting experience. However, before embarking on your journey to this picturesque region, there are essential things you should know to ensure a memorable and seamless visit.
