Cinque Terre, Italy
The Cinque Terre (the Five Lands) is a very beautiful National Park in Italy attracting millions of tourists every year.
Limits and restrictions for visiting the Park of the Cinque Terre in 2024-2025 (limited number)
There has been some discussion recently about whether to impose a limit on numbers because of the constant increase in tourists to the Park. An app which was created in 2017 with a map of the trails (Apple Store, Google Play) will be improved. It is planned that with this app it will be possible to create a virtual waiting list for walking the paid routes in the future. For the moment there is no additional information, nor do we know in which year this will take effect. Keep checking our website because we will be the first to inform you as soon as this information is available.
