No — Cinque Terre is not in Tuscany. It is located in the Liguria region of northwestern Italy, along the rugged Ligurian coast. Despite being geographically close to Tuscany, it is a separate region with its own distinct culture, cuisine, and dialect. The five villages — Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore — are perched dramatically on steep cliffs overlooking the Ligurian Sea, and the area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A Cinque Terre day tour from Florence is one of the most rewarding day trips you can take from the city.

Cinque Terre's five villages each offer their own unique charm. Monterosso al Mare is the largest and has the best beaches. Vernazza is widely considered the most picturesque, with a natural harbor and colorful stacked houses. Corniglia sits dramatically atop a cliff and requires a staircase climb. Manarola is famous for its vineyard terraces and romantic sunset views. Riomaggiore is the southernmost village and a gateway to the famous Via dell'Amore hiking path.
