Full day tour to Cinque Terre from Milan: the pearls of the Gulf of the Poets

About this tour

A full day excursion to Cinque Terre National Park, a real paradise on earth, one of the most evocative coastal landscapes in Italy, whose beauty has inspired over the centuries artists and poets from all over of the world.

Leave behind the bustling streets of Milan and embark on a breathtaking journey to one of Italy’s most enchanting destinations—Cinque Terre. Your adventure begins in the morning aboard a comfortable GT coach, where you can relax and take in the changing landscape through large panoramic windows. As you leave the city behind, the lush green hills and the endless blue sky become your travel companions, guiding you toward the stunning Ligurian coast.

Your first stop is Riomaggiore, where you can admire its vibrant cliffside houses and charming streets filled with artisan shops. Then, you will visit Manarola, a picturesque seaside village that looks like a painting come to life. Nestled among terraced vineyards and steep cliffs, this charming town is a maze of pastel-colored houses and narrow streets leading to a beautiful Romanesque church overlooking the sea. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing you to fully embrace the peaceful rhythm of life in the Cinque Terre National Park. Take a leisurely stroll through the village, admire the colorful fishing boats moored in the small marina, or simply soak in the breathtaking views of the Ligurian coastline.

Now it’s time to take a train to Monterosso al Mare, the largest and perhaps most captivating of the Cinque Terre villages. This seaside paradise is home to the park’s largest sandy beach, with crystal-clear waters and a scenic promenade lined with lively bars, traditional focaccerie, and charming gelato shops. Whether you choose to relax on the shore, wander through the historic town center, or find a quiet spot to watch the fishing boats gently bobbing in the harbor, Monterosso offers an authentic taste of coastal Italian life.

After your time in Monterosso, you’ll reunite with your expert guide and set sail on a panoramic boat cruise toward La Spezia—arguably the most magical part of the journey. Sit back and feel the sea breeze on your skin as you glide along the rugged coastline, admiring the dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and colorful villages that make Cinque Terre one of the most breathtaking places in the world.

This unforgettable day trip offers a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and stunning scenery, all just a few hours from Milan. From charming fishing villages to sun-kissed beaches and a spectacular cruise along the Ligurian coast, this experience will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Let the beauty of Cinque Terre enchant you!
