I found myself walking through the charming, narrow streets of Corniglia, one of the five villages in Italy's stunning Cinque Terra. The sun was beginning its evening descent and the golden light was casting a warm glow over the brightly colored buildings and steep hillsides. The Mediterranean Sea glinted like smooth glass casting a soft glare across the horizon. The air was thick with the scent of fresh basil and garlic, the sounds of locals chatting and laughing in Italian filling my ears. The pastel-colored buildings were stacked precariously on the steep cliffs overlooking the turquoise sea, their shutters flung open to let in the warm Mediterranean breeze. I couldn't help but feel like I had stumbled upon a secret, a hidden gem tucked away from the crowds of tourists that flock to the neighboring towns of Cinque Terre. The narrow cobblestone streets were too small for cars, forcing me to share the road with locals on their Vespas and delivery men carrying baskets of fresh produce.

The cool and calm

I am a great floater. 

Maybe I am naturally pretty buoyant. Maybe just drawn to laying in the water for hours, bobbing away. 

This summer I spent a lot of time swimming on my own and realised that my clearest thoughts come when I am in the water. There are no distractions, I can’t hear or really see much and I can just wiggle around a bit for a while. 

Perfect place to iron out some thinking and also achieve smooth brain... no thoughts... bliss

We are on our way to Cinqueterra for the day. From the photos we’ve seen it should be very picturesque

This is a typical town in Tuscany -most are built on a hill

Colours of the Cinqueterra: a day spent walking up and down steep rocky paths (and by train) between the little towns along the Ligurian coast. With a stop for grilled fish in the harbour of Vernazza and for gelati in memorable basil and honey flavours in the village of Corniglio. #cinqueterra #Italy #liguria #italia (at Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre - Area Marina Protetta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkEKQ1lkmG/?igshid=14zb0bz8gwsmb

As the sun began its descent over the Mediterranean Sea, I found myself perched on a rocky outcropping overlooking the idyllic village of Riomaggiore in storybook seaside village in Cinque Terra. The sky was a riot of colors, a stunning palette of oranges, pinks, and purples that painted the sea in a fiery glow. The water shimmered and danced as the last rays of sunlight filtered through the waves, creating a scene straight out of a postcard. I sat there in silence, taking it all in, breathing in the salty sea air and feeling the warm breeze on my skin. This was a moment to savor, a moment to remember, a moment that would stay with me forever. As the sun finally dipped below the horizon, the sky turned a deep shade of blue, and the first stars appeared like pinpricks of light. It was then that the true magic of Riomaggiore revealed itself. The town began to light up, its twinkling lights reflecting off the water and creating a fairy-tale atmosphere. The sound of laughter and music drifted up to where I sat, and I couldn't help but take a longing breath in and smile. This was Italy at its finest: beautiful, charming, and full of life. As the night grew darker, I reluctantly tore myself away from the view, knowing that this was a moment that could never truly be captured in words. But one thing was certain: that sunset, that moment in time, that experience over the Mediterranean Sea in Riomaggiore would stay in my heart and soul forever. #Italy #CinqueTerra #Riomaggiore #Mediterranean #Sunset #ItalianSunset #Writer #Traveler #WordIllustrator #Travelogue (at Riomaggiore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosnO1Dyfoy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cinque Terre Vacation and Other Italian Gems

Cinque Terre Vacation and Other Italian Gems

Cinque Terre 4 day Romantic Vacation

Located along the Liguarian coast of northwest Italy, Cinque Terre is one of the most beautiful places in Europe. It’s easy to see why: multi-colored historical houses cling onto craggy cliffs, with steep green terraced vineyards carved into them.

Translating to mean “five lands”, Cinque Terre is actually made up of five fishing villages built into the foot of mountains along the coast. While they are no longer the isolated hamlets they once were, but there’s still a feeling of authenticity, with perfectly preserved architecture and a network of stunning trails. The Cinque Terre area is a popular tourist destination. Over the centuries, people have built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the Ligurian Sea. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages as cars can reach them from the outside only via narrow and precarious mountain roads with great difficulty. To help you plan your journey, I am sharing our 4-day Cinque Terre itinerary, along with things to do in Cinque Terre and where to eat and stay in each village. This itinerary will allow you to maximize your time in Cinque Terre. For more detailed info on visiting Cinque Terre, check out my Cinque Terre travel guide.

Cinque Terre 4 day Itinerary

Best Time to Visit Cinque Terre

I recommend visiting Cinque Terre in early spring (April) or late autumn (November). With the vaccines being rolled out late Autumn in 2021 is what I would target if you want to go this year. Late Autumn and early Spring are also when it is the least crowded and prices are not too high. The weather can be unpredictable though. We visited at the middle of May I'm 2019 and Cinque Terre was already pretty crowded. There were long lines at the train stations and restaurants. Even the hiking trails were packed with throngs of tourists. Cinque Terre gets extremely crowded in summer, peak travel season in Europe. It’s also really hot (temperatures rising to 86°F or 30°C) and not ideal for hiking if you intend to do that. Winter is cool and uncrowded but heavy rainfall can result in landslides and unsafe hiking conditions. Restaurants and hiking trails close around end of November and open on 1st April.

How Many Days Should You Spend in Cinque Terre?

Cinque Terre is extremely popular with day-trippers — there are many day tours to Cinque Terre from Florence, Pisa and La Spezia. However, we definitely don’t recommend doing a day trip here as Cinque Terre definitely merits more time than that. It is however easy to add on days at other Italian gems before or after which you can read about below. We spent 4 days in Cinque Terre and still wished we had more time. If you are visiting Cinque Terre with kids, then I suggest spending a week here as kids need to travel at a slower pace and will like lots of beach time. If you do want to hike the Cinque Terre trails, then I suggest having 1 week in Cinque Terre to slowly explore the area on foot. More details below on hiking in Cinque Terre.

    Our Cinque Terre Itinerary

Most of the Cinque Terre villages (except Monterosso) are tiny, so you can see each of them in 1 day. If you are wondering what to do in Cinque Terre, refer to my detailed itinerary below to get an idea. Which is the best Cinque Terre town? Check out my guide on where to stay in Cinque Terre. Your starting point depends on where you’re staying. This Cinque Terre itinerary is designed for those staying in Riomaggiore or La Spezia (outside of Cinque Terre). Day 1: Riomaggiore Day 2: Manarola Day 3: Corniglia and Vernazza Day 4: Monterosso al Mare If you are staying in Monterosso or Levanto (outside of Cinque Terre), just reverse the Cinque Terre itinerary. Day 1: Monterosso al Mare Day 2: Corniglia and Vernazza Day 3: Manarola Day 4: Riomaggiore

Cinque Terre Itinerary: Things to Do in Cinque Terre

Itinerary Day 1: Riomaggiore The first stop on our Cinque Terre itinerary is Riomaggiore, the first village you’ll find if you’re coming from La Spezia. You can choose to hike or take the Cinque Terre Express train to get around Cinque Terre: it only takes 4-6 minutes to get from one village to another. Scroll to the end of this Cinque Terre itinerary for more details on how to get around Cinque Terre.

Best Things to Do in Riomaggiore In my opinion, Riomaggiore has the most romantic setting. Despite having the biggest population, it feels surprisingly tiny. After you leave the train station, head straight to the waterfront as that is the most picturesque part of Riomaggiore. Snap photos of the pastel-colored buildings, sit on the steps with a gelato in hand, or meander all the way up the slopes to the left of the harbor (when facing the sea) for the best views. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also cliff jump from here. Then walk all the way up to the higher end of Riomaggiore where the beautiful Church of San Giovanni Battista stands and enjoy the panoramic views. Alternatively, sign up for this 3-hour food and wine tour in Riomaggiore to delve deep into the culinary scene here.

Where to Eat in Riomaggiore A Pie’ de Ma’ — Simple and traditional, this rustic restaurant has a romantic ambiance. You can also enjoy aperitifs and wine while you watch the sunset behind the cliffs. Dau Cila —Dishing up Liguarian classics, this Michelin-starred restaurant is one of the most respected places in Cinque Terre. We had the best meal on this trip here. Definitely book a table in advance! Trattoria La Grotta — This family-run restaurant serves fresh-from-the-sea dishes and high quality local produce. Don’t miss the anchovies and steak tartare.

Itinerary Day 2: Manarola  For me, this is hands down the most beautiful town in Cinque Terre. If you’ve seen a photo from Cinque Terre, it was probably taken here. The colorful historical buildings slide down all the way to the rocky harbor, which can be admired from an easily walkable loop along the coast. I recommend staying in Manarola, so you can spend your evenings sitting on one of the benches overlooking the waterfront. You’ll have the whole place to yourself!

Best Things to Do in Manarola The town’s train station is located on the flat part of town, surrounded by shops, gelato stalls, and restaurants. Take your time to admire the narrow alleys and piazza before continuing towards the waterfront. Follow the coastal loop that brings you up to Nessun Dorma, the most famous restaurant/bar in Cinque Terre, before ending at Punta Bonfiglio. It’s a short uphill hike, with fabulous views and a playground. In the evenings, many locals and tourists gather here to catch sunset. Manarola is most famous for wine production. You can even hike up to the grapevines on the slopes above the town. Sign up for this wine tasting tour to sample wine made in Manarola and visit its vineyards.

  Where to Eat in Manarola Il Porticciolo — A hot favorite in Cinque Terre, this seafood restaurant has a great selection of pasta dishes and to-die-for desserts. Highly recommend the tagliatelle frutti di mare! Ristorante Marina Piccola — This is my favorite restaurant on this list, with perfect views of the sunset and flavorful wine wine mussels. Nessun Dorma — Perched on the waterfront hills above Manarola, this cafe is probably the most famous in Cinque Terre. It has an open terrace with literally the best views in Manarola. Sadly they don’t take reservations and lines to dine here are long.

  Itinerary Day 3: Corniglia and Vernazza Sitting atop a 100m-high rocky promontory surrounded by vineyards, Corniglia is the only village that lacks direct access to the sea. You’ll need to climb 382 steps of Scalinata Lardarina to get there from the train station. There’s also a free bus that will bring you up, but it’s often crowded. For most, Corniglia lacks the coastal appeal that draws so many to Cinque Terre. But that also means it is the most authentic and least crowded of them all, and prices of hotels are the most reasonable here.

Best Things to Do in Corniglia Corniglia is the smallest of the Cinque Terre towns, characterized by tangled alleys, hilly terraces and bohemian cafes. This is the most authentic town with the least tourists. Have an Aperol Spritz at one of its many outdoor bars, scour the vintages stores or visit the Oratorio dei Disciplinati di Santa Caterina church. For the best views, hike up to Santa Maria panoramic terrace and see the whole town from above.

    Best Things to Do in Vernazza From Corniglia, catch the train over to Vernazza, centrally located in Cinque Terre. The main square is located right by the harbor, flanked by multi-hued buildings and dome-roofed chapels. I found this town to be the most crowded as it’s the hot favorite among travelers. The town has a marina and a small beach where you can catch a boat or take a dip in. Visit Santa Margherita di Antiochia Church by the beach before climbing up the steps to the watch tower of Doria Castle for panoramic views of Vernazza. Read the full article
