Cinque Terre Trip & Lemon Festival

Intense beauty, great cuisine and amazing aromas are jam-packed into the area known as Cinque Terre. Between its coastal scenery and colorful buildings, these five coastal villages on the Italian Riviera are a sight to behold.

We will travel to Cinque Terre by bus. Once there, our trip facilitator will pass out trail/national park cards. You will then enjoy free time to travel to the villages by train, hike the trails between the villages, stop for coffee or a nice meal, or just enjoy the beautiful scenery.

About the Festiva:

The Cinque Terre Lemon Festival, or Festa del Limone, is a vibrant celebration of the region's prized citrus fruit. Held annually in the village of Monterosso al Mare, this event transforms the streets into a fragrant, yellow-hued paradise. You'll find an abundance of lemon-based products to taste and buy. These include local specialties like limoncino (a lemon liqueur), lemon cream, lemon-marinated anchovies, lemon cakes, and refreshing lemon granita.
