Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Portovenere Discovery Guide

Overview

Changed

If you were ever to select a 6th village in the Cinque Terre area, it would surely be the charming and picturesque town Portovenere, located on the south tip of a peninsula at about one hour driving from the Cinque Terre. On a sunny day, you’ll find here a nice mix of tourists and locals that stroll over the boulevard and enjoy the beautiful views, the numerous boats in the harbor and the small streets with pastel-colored houses.

Portovenere (or Porto Venere) is a UNESCO protected heritage site since 1997.
