The best shopping in Cinque Terre isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Sentiero Azzurro coastal trail and Vernazza harbor and castle are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Volastra — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
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 shopping 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.
Visitors explore Cinque Terre for hiking and scenery, but every walking route ends up passing through Sentiero Azzurro coastal trail and Vernazza harbor and castle and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Volastra — it reflects what the people of Cinque Terre actually buy, make, and value.
Buy a Cinque Terre Card for unlimited train travel between villages and trail access — it saves money and lets you hike one direction and train back.
Late April through May and September through mid-October offer comfortable hiking temperatures and fewer crowds on the narrow trails.
