10Cinque Terre: The Quintessential Italian Riviera
No visit to the Italian Riviera is complete without experiencing the enchantment of Cinque Terre.
Comprising five colorful villages—Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore—Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to the region’s beauty. Each village boasts its unique character, with narrow alleyways, vibrant houses clinging to cliffsides, and crystal-clear waters lapping at their feet. Hiking enthusiasts can tackle the famous Cinque Terre Trail, which offers breathtaking views of the coastline.
Winter is a season of enchantment, and there’s something magical about landscapes blanketed in snow, frost-covered trees, and cozy towns illuminated with twinkling lights.
