Italy's Cinque Terre - Monterosso under the Sea Giant

#Sign up for May Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 You might be wondering why you can't just take a train to Cinque Terre from other cities like Milan, Venice and Rome, but instead take a train from La Spezia to Cinque Terre? Since there is no direct train, you will definitely need to transfer. If you want to visit Cinque Terre without rushing, you need to spend a whole day taking a train from other cities and then transferring, which will take more than 2 to 3 hours. This will shorten your time in Cinque Terre and make the day trip very tiring. Florence and Pisa are okay, taking just over an hour and the fares are relatively cheap. Except for Monterosso al Mare, where the road is relatively flat, the other four villages require climbing hills and stairs. Therefore, it is not suitable to live in Cinque Terre with luggage, and the housing prices are also very expensive. If you really want to live there, you can go to Monterosso al Mare, because the town is relatively large and its feature is a large beach. So this is probably the favorite village for European and American travelers, full of people sunbathing. The most famous one should be the "Giant Watching the Sea" stone statue of Poseidon, and this beach view is a classic check-in spot. Although there are not as many colorful stacked houses on the shore as in other villages, it is really fun to stroll around here, and the sea water is cool and comfortable, so you can stay here for a day or two.
