Photo: Vernazza Town

One of five towns of Cinque Terre is Vernazza, Italy situated on cliffs overlooking the sea.

Vernazza, Italy has a beautiful small town aura about it with a population of approximately 1,000 local residents whose livelihood is fishing. The town is adorned with old-fashioned elegant homes painted an array of colors that cling to cliffs overlooking the harbour.

The town of Vernazza has no car transportation and the only way in and out of town is to take a ride on the commuter/milk train. The scenery is picturesque as the train journeys through tunnels along the high cliffs overlooking the majestic sea.

For a more spectacular view of Vernazza take a hike through the mountains for a look at the town from above for some postcard photos.
