Comprised of five picturesque coastal towns, Cinque Terre is one of the most popular places to visit in the Italian Riviera due to its stunning beauty. And what better way to go from town to town than to hike between them. Here’s what you need to know about the different Cinque Terre Hiking trails. Hiking the Cinque Terre involves one major overarching trail, which can be broken down into four smaller legs of the trip. The full trail is known as the Blue Trail, and it connects the five Cinque Terre towns, running from Riomaggiore to Monterosso. Hiking the trail in its entirety (just under 7 miles) will take most people around 5 hours or so, and that doesn’t include stopping in any of the towns and exploring.
