Cinque Terre transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Sentiero Azzurro coastal trail and Vernazza harbor and castle take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Volastra for the kind of night that only locals know about.
The five villages of Cinque Terre cling to the rugged Ligurian coastline in a riot of pastel colors, connected by cliffside hiking paths that offer some of the most breathtaking coastal walking in the world.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided nightlife tour route in Cinque Terre. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Sentiero Azzurro coastal trail — a scenic trail winding through varied terrain, offering both exercise and stunning natural vistas along the way, Vernazza harbor and castle — a tiny natural harbor overlooked by the Doria Castle tower, considered the most photogenic of the five cliff-hugging villages, Manarola village views — terraced vineyards tumbling to a rocky cove, best seen from the Via dell'Amore coastal path or the small harbor at sunset, plus hidden gems like Volastra — a hilltop hamlet above Manarola surrounded by vineyards, with a Romanesque church and none of the crowds of the five main villages and Punta Mesco headland — a trail from Monterosso to an abandoned hermitage on a dramatic promontory with sweeping Riviera views.
Use this page as a starting point for a Cinque Terre walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Cinque Terre. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
