Cinque Terre in one day from Florence
How far is Cinque Terre from Florence? Just 186km, or two and a half hours in one of our comfortable air conditioned minivan. Leaving early morning from Tuscany, your knowledgeable guide will be taking you to admire the best sights of Cinque Terre. Our comprehensive exploration will include the visit of some of the most beautiful villages and landscapes of Cinque Terre National Park, a world-heritage protected by UNESCO since 1997, ( which are Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso and we will visit some of them), the villages clinging to a remote stretch of the Riviera coastline. Tickets to the park are included, though sadly the Via dell’Amore is temporarily closed due to a mudslide, meaning you’ll take the minivan or train between the five villages rather than walking.
Enjoy free time to swim or taste local delicacies
During your visit to Cinque Terre, enjoy ample free time to wander through the colorful villages, soak in the coastal scenery, and taste the local specialties. Stroll along charming streets, savor fresh Ligurian seafood, focaccia, and pesto, or take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters. Whether you prefer to relax by the sea, explore the villages, or indulge in a culinary adventure, this break allows you to fully experience the unique charm and flavors of this UNESCO World Heritage coastline.
Admire the coast and conclude in Pisa
See Cinque Terre from a new perspective with a short boat trip along the Ligurian coast, weather permitting, or a light hike through the terraced hills above the villages, where panoramic views and local vineyards create unforgettable photo opportunities. Afterward, continue your journey to Pisa and arrive at Piazza dei Miracoli, where you can explore the historic square, admire the cathedral and baptistery, and snap the perfect photo of the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa (tower tickets not included). This combination of coastal beauty, hillside vistas, and iconic Tuscan architecture makes for a truly memorable day trip from Florence.
Sea between the villages
Glide along the coast as Cinque Terre reveals itself from the water, with cliffs and pastel facades in view.
Sea crossings, village moments
See Cinque Terre from the water, then step ashore to enjoy the character of its colorful seaside villages.
Village time, your rhythm
Pause in a harbor, wander quiet lanes, or simply absorb the everyday beauty of Liguria.
Marble finale in Pisa
End the day before the luminous monuments of Piazza dei Miracoli and its world-famous tower.
