The Cinque Terre from Lucca: Picture-Perfect Seaside Villages by Train

During your stay in Lucca, you can easily reach one of Italy’s most spectacular destinations: the Cinque Terre.
In about an hour and a half by train, you’ll find yourself surrounded by dramatic cliffs, colorful seaside villages, and the scent of the Mediterranean breeze.

🏖️ What to See in the Cinque Terre in One Day

1️⃣ Manarola & Riomaggiore
Two of the most iconic villages: pastel-colored houses, tiny bays, and romantic views. The famous Via dell’Amore trail connects them (check if it’s open before visiting).

2️⃣ Vernazza
Often called the most beautiful of the five. Perfect for a seaside lunch and a swim in its charming little harbor.

3️⃣ Monterosso al Mare
The largest of the five villages, with the widest beach — ideal for relaxing before heading back.

🌙 Back to Lucca: Relax After the Sea

After a day of sun and sea, returning to the calm of Lucca is pure bliss.
Enjoy an aperitivo on the illuminated city walls and a peaceful evening stroll — the perfect way to end your Cinque Terre adventure.
