When to Go

The best time to visit the Cinque Terre, is between April and October. The months of July and August tend to be very touristy so if you don't like crowds you may want to go in the spring or fall. The winter months can become quite cold, so we don't recommend that time of the year especially if you plan to do a lot of hiking.

The average air temperatures:
Winter: 50
Spring: 65
Summer: 80
Fall: 70
