Unlike the other localities of the Cinque Terre, Corniglia is not directly next to the sea. Instead, it is on the top of a promontory about 100 meters high, surrounded on three sides by vineyards and terraces and the fourth side descends steeply on the sea.

There is a passenger ferry service running between the five villages, providing a different vantage point of the rugged coastline and shore line at each village.

A local train line from La Spezia to Genoa connects all five villages. The train connecting the five villages runs in what is mainly a tunnel for the full distance between Riomaggiore and Monterosso, emerging from the rock infrequently for quick glimpses of the Mediterranean down the hill.

The path from Riomaggiore to Manarola is called the Via Dell'Amore. It winds along the shore, is very picturesque and is easy to hike.
