Monterosso, Cinque Terre Holidays

The village of Monterosso is one fifth of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Cinque Terre. It’s also the biggest of the five cliff side villages and is well equipped for visitors.

There’s two distinct parts to Monterosso - the old part with narrow lanes and traditional fishermen’s cottages, and the newer part where you’ll find ample amenities including plenty of shops, waterfront restaurants and the beautiful Fegina beach. With its own train station, this little town makes it easy for visitors to explore the surrounding areas. The Cinque Terre train connects the coastal villages or you can head further afield to towns like Sestri Levante and Rapallo.

Things To Do

Hiking

The Cinque Terre is famed for its hiking, with well-trodden paths winding along the coast between the five villages, with fantastic views along the way. We recommend setting out early and catching the train back once you’ve reached the end.

Thanks to a train station near the centre of town, it’s easy to turn your Cinque Terre holiday into a multi-centre. The Renaissance city of Florence is three hours away and, from there, you can explore the stunning Tuscan countryside. Or just head further south to the laid back coastal resort of Viareggio on the Tuscany Coast.
