Five fishing villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

There are travel restrictions for travelers in the Cinque Terre. It is forbidden to drive a car, so everyone gets to Riomaggiore by train from Genoa or La Spezia. The road takes up to two hours.
