1111. Hike Cinque Terre, Italy
Just north of Pisa, on Italy’s coastline, is a group of five individual pastel-colored towns known as The Cinque Terre. Each town overlooking the harbor offers visitors its own something special. Hiking this 11-kilometer trail, a.k.a. The Blue Trail is a great way to explore this place.
Some portions are paved, some unpaved, and some require climbing up and over natural terrain. So the hike is rated easy to moderate. It connects Riomaggiore to Monterosso al Mare and requires more than five hours to finish and additional time to explore a little. This is one hike where you refuel along the way with pizza, gelato, and wine. Why stroll around all five towns?
