The Cinque Terre City Guides cover the questions every visitor has on this cliff coast: where to eat without paying for the view twice, which village to see first, how to reach the sanctuaries above the crowds and where to get a drink once the villages go quiet. Each guide is a short, honest list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip per place, reaching beyond the five villages to La Spezia, Levanto and Porto Venere. It opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
La Pia Centenaria
Via Magenta 12, La Spezia
Farinata straight from the wood oven, the thin chickpea pancake La Spezia grew up on, with pizza by the slice and chestnut cake beside it. One of the few spots on this coast where lunch for two stays cheap. From the food guide.
Santuario di Nostra Signora di Montenero
Above Riomaggiore, 1.5 hour walk
A sanctuary 340 m over Riomaggiore with the whole coastline and the Gulf of La Spezia spread out below. Several paths climb to it; choose the one through the vineyards, about an hour and a half of the best scenery. From the things to do guide.
La terza terra
Via Fieschi 215, Corniglia
A small bar on the cliff edge at the far end of Corniglia, looking down the coast towards Manarola. A short local wine list, bruschette and piadine, and the place to sit when the sun goes down. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days with the guides
First day: start in Riomaggiore and Manarola with the things to do guide, take focaccia from the budget list for lunch and climb to Corniglia for a sunset drink from the nightlife guide. Second day: Monterosso and Vernazza, with the sand at Fegina, a church or a castle tower and dinner from the food guide, or cross the gulf to Porto Venere and Lerici with the day trips guide. For a rainy or slow day, head to La Spezia: museums and the castle from the family guide, farinata at lunch and a wine bar to finish.
