The "Sentiero Azzurro" (Blue Trail) is the most famous, offering breathtaking views of the coast and the sea. The pristine nature surrounding the village also provides many opportunities for excursions in the lush Ligurian countryside.

Local cuisine is another highlight of Monterosso al Mare. You can savor delicious dishes of fresh seafood, such as the famous "frittura mista," and Ligurian specialties like pesto alla genovese and focaccia.
