Cinque Terre, meaning “Five Lands,” is a beautiful area made up of five small towns situated along Italy’s western coast in the Liguria region, which resides just slightly north of Tuscany. Located within a national park, Cinque Terre is known for its dramatic scenery, colorful towns, and laidback lifestyle. While the area is only home to roughly 4,000 people, its terraced agricultural land, beautiful yet rugged landscape, and awe-inspiring views of the Mediterranean Sea attract nearly 2.5 million people each year.
