In a typical ligurian way, Moneglia combines the attractions of the mountains and the sea, and in so doing offers her visitors the perfect mixture of a cultural, beach and active vacation.
You can reach the popular Cinque Terre villages within 20 minutes by train, whereby the train journey along the coast alone is already a unique experience.
The little coastal village is an ideal starting point for discovering the area. Numerous wandering and mountain bike stretches into the hilly surrounding countryside and excursion ships to Portofino and to the Cinque Terre villages start from here.
Or simply just enjoy the sun and the view into the distance while relaxing on the beach. There are various types of toys for the little ones on the well-maintained private beaches and some offer football, volleyball fields and childcare.
The place offers some bars where you can start the evening delightfully over a glass of Aperitivo and let the anticipation of Italian cuisine grow. The ruins of the Villafranc-Kastell which originates from the 12th century, and the striped Santa Croce church (1726), lie in the eastern part of town.
On the other hand, a historical Palazzo from the 19th century is today standing at the place formerly occupied by the Monteleone fortress in the west. The picture of "Saint Georg" of Rubens is especially worth seeing in the San Giorgio church.
