Manarola - Postcard-Perfect Cinque Terre Village
One of the most photographed villages of Cinque Terre, Manarola epitomizes the iconic charm of this coastal Italian region. Its stacked hillside houses in hues of pink, yellow, and orange cascade dramatically down to the cove's turquoise waters and pontoon-filled harbor.
The origin of Manarola's picturesque appearance traces to the Middle Ages, when locals built homes on the rocky terrain for vineyard cultivation. Other key sights include the 14th century stone Church of San Lorenzo and St. Lawrence’s Wheel - a stone circle used for anchoring boats.
Cinque Terre enjoys a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers. Manarola sees peak tourism then when the weather and sea lend perfectly to hiking, swimming, and seafood alfresco dining. This idyllic village is easily reachable by train or boat.
With its postcard panoramas around every corner, Manarola fully immerses visitors in the essence of Cinque Terre's beauty and charm that has inspired artists through the centuries.
