Cinque Terre Walking
6 days
 

A dramatic meeting of mountains and sea is what makes the Italian Riviera so alluring. Here terraced vineyards and quaint villages cling to rugged cliffs. Turquoise waters fill quiet coves. Small fishing boats drop anchor by lavish yachts, and olive groves, pine forests and wildflowers line ancient footpaths. Backroads invites you to explore the Cinque Terre by foot, train and boat. Dine on the region’s specialties: fresh seafood, pasta al pesto and crisp white wines. And indulge in two nights at Portofino’s Hotel Splendido, one of Europe’s most acclaimed hotels.
