Everything Else
Monterosso is the largest town in Cinque Terre by size, with an Old Town, a New Town, two sandy beaches and a long promenade, giving it more of a resort feel to it than the others. There are even hotels with swimming pools! It’s the best option accessibility wise, as its much flatter so lacking in stairs. You’ll find the most accommodation options here, but I didn’t think it was as charming as the other villages in Cinque Terre. So what is there to do in Monterosso?
Go paragliding
Paragliding from the top of the hill behind Monterosso and landing on the beach is definitely a unique experience to have in Cinque Terre. I didn’t get to experience it, as it’s only available from October to April

Parks & Nature
Walk to Vernazza
Hiking in Cinque Terre is one of the most popular things to do. It used to be relatively easy to walk between Riomaggiore and Manarola along a coastal path, and you could even continue further along the coast as well. However, after severe storms and heavy flooding several years ago the coastal paths were damage
Take a boat tour
One of the best ways to see Cinque Terre is from the ocean, where you’ll be able to more clearly see how the colourful houses have been built into the steep hills around them. Venture out during the day, or for something a little more special take a boat tour of Cinque Terre at sunset, and watch how the light changes these already stunning villages.

Arts & Culture
Visit the churches
All of the villages in Cinque Terre have a different patron saint and their own churches. However, the ones in Corniglia are another reason to visit. The Church of St Peter was built in 1334 over a pre-existing building and has elements of the Baroque style, and also Gothic and Ligurian design.

Shopping
Try focaccia bread
Focaccia bread originated in Liguria, the area in which Cinque Terre resides. You’ll find entire bakeries devoted to this fluffy bread, with all sorts of toppings. It makes a great snack or something to buy and then eat on the beach.
