The best times of the year to travel to Cinque Terre (and the rest of the Italian Riviera) are the shoulder seasons of spring and early fall. Of these times, you’ll want to focus on late-March through May and September through October, depending on what you’re looking to get out of your trip.These months offer pleasant temperatures ranging from the 60s°F and 70s°F while avoiding the busy summer crowds that the peak summer travel season always brings along. The weather is perfect for hiking the region and exploring each of the five towns during these months, making them the ideal choice.
