Italian - Cinque Terre.

Cinque Terre is located on the eastern coast of Liguria and is a rugged coastline in the province of La Spezia, including five villages, from west to east: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. Due to the special geographical location and cultural landscape of these villages, Cinque Terre has become one of the main tourist attractions on the coast of La Spezia. In 1997, at the proposal of the province of La Spezia, Cinque Terre and the Port of Venere, Palmaria Island, Tino Island, and Tinetto Island were listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. In 1999, the Cinque Terre National Park was officially established.

Train tickets can be purchased for a pass, which is convenient for visiting various villages. - If you choose to drive by yourself, please note that due to the terrain, parking may be difficult and expensive. It is recommended to park the car in La Spezia and then transfer to public transportation. 🏘️【Accommodation recommendation】 - You can enjoy the beauty of Cinque Terre by staying in any village, but considering the flow of tourists, it is recommended to book in advance.

It is sweet but not greasy, and is very suitable as a dessert wine after a meal. 🌺【Nearby attractions recommended】 - After visiting Cinque Terre, you can go to nearby Portofino to experience a more high-end seaside style. - The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not far away, and it takes about an hour to get there from La Spezia.

Riomaggiore day trip 🇮🇹

#italytrip Spent a day in Riomaggiore, one of the beautiful villages in Cinque Terre, and it was like stepping into a postcard! The train from La Spezia was just a few euros, and once you arrive, you're greeted by colorful houses stacked on the cliffs overlooking the sea 🌊🏘️. There’s no entrance fee to the village itself, but if you want to hike the trails between the villages, you'll need a Cinque Terre Trekking Card, which costs around €7.50. We started with a walk down to the harbor, where the boats and crystal-clear waters made for some stunning photos. For lunch, we grabbed some fresh seafood at a little trattoria overlooking the water – the anchovies and pesto pasta were incredible 🍝🐟. Then, we strolled through the narrow, winding streets, checking out the local shops selling everything from ceramics to lemon-themed souvenirs. The Via dell'Amore trail was unfortunately closed, but we still enjoyed hiking a bit up the hillside for some incredible views of the village and the sea. If you have time, take a dip in the harbor or just relax on the rocks and soak up the sun. Riomaggiore is a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, with that authentic Italian charm. Can't recommend it enough for a day trip! #trip #Riomaggiore #CinqueTerre #CoastalViews #ItalianCharm #DayTrip

It perched high on the Italian Riviera just south of Genoa in northwest Italy. The five villages are connected by hiking trails open all year round.

Hiking the most beautiful town in Italy's Cinque Terre: Riomaggiore

I have finally arrived at the other side of the Anywhere Door: the Cinque Terre in Italy! ►Millennium-old village ▪︎ Over a thousand years ago, humans transformed the steep slopes of the Ligurian seaside into arable land suitable for farming, and built stone walls to live in, which is what the Cinque Terre is. ▪︎ The residential buildings of the Cinque Terre stand on the cliffs, facing the sea against the mountains, with beautiful scenery. The five original ecological seaside towns are Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, among which Riomaggiore is the easternmost and the largest town! ►Full hiking experience ▪︎ After getting off the train at Monterosso, we saw the blue sea and the lush green vegetation, a real visual feast! ▪︎ The rocks on both sides of the pier are filled with buildings of various heights, and the colorful coatings on the surface add a lovely atmosphere to the pier, which is also the scenery on postcards ▪︎ Walking along the coastline, you can see a variety of cute fishing boats, and in the shops, there are introductions to various practical knots ▪︎ Not far from the pier, the cliff path is a popular spot, connecting Riomaggiore and Manarola towns, known as the Path of Love! The stone chairs carved into kissing silhouettes and the dense love locks are the symbols of the Path of Love, and the entire path can be walked in 20 minutes. There are various messages and graffiti on the gallery, with a huge stone wall and terraces on one side and cliffs on the other. There are many couples who come here! ►Recommended visit: 1 day ►Transportation: After driving to the Cinque Terre, there is a small train on the island connecting the villages

Winter ain’t a dull season; Riomaggiore ❄️

#newyearadventure #tripblazers #passionpassport #traveljunkie Can never be too much of pasta 🍝 / gelato 🍦 / pizza 🍕 WHEN in ITALY! 🤩 Weather can be tricky especially in winter season BUT never underestimate the chance of catching the sunset whenever in Liguria! Riomaggiore, being the 1st train stop via the Cinque Terre islands; picturesque villages of 🇮🇹 located in Northwestern part of Italia 😍 Despite off-peak season, local & family-run ristorante/ cafes still operates daily. (though limited options) Dine like / with the locals , for the best experience . If you are keen for boat tours on the riviera, I’d reckon travel during spring/summer else the villages are also doable during low season for a good stroll.

Riomaggiore is the only village in the Cinque Terre with a pier. The colorful houses are built on the hills and stacked on top of each other, allowing us to walk through the concrete buildings every day. After the train leaves the station, you can see a large mural. You can see a passage along the direction of the mural. The color village is visible through this passage. The houses with red and green will be arranged on the edge of the cliff by the mountains and the sea. From a distance, it is a colorful cliff, like a colorful painting. Outside the window, there are some clothes and sheets hanging on the window. On the window or on the balcony, people sometimes look out for the crowded streets, or slowly take a cigarette, swallowing clouds, and the smoke and air-driving clothes fluttering in the wind. I want to find out what it is like in this room, but I dont dare. In fact, no matter what the house is, there is a magic that attracts people outside to find out.
