Cinque Terre, often described as a crown jewel of Italy, is a string of centuries-old seaside villages situated on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline. Centred perfectly in Italy's Ligurian Region, this awe-inspiring destination is famously known for its five vibrantly colored fishing villages: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. These distinct settlements, perched delicately atop steep cliffs, are renowned globally for their exquisite pastel-colored houses, ancient vineyards clinging to terraced hills, mouthwatering local seafood, hand-crafted wines, and the iconic romantic footpaths that interconnect each village. With its breathtaking panoramic views and timeless charm, Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and serves as a captivating testament to a bygone era, promising to enthrall every travel enthusiast.

Italy, nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea in Southern Europe, is a country known for its iconic contributions to art, history, fashion, food, and music. Home to an incredible 55 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the country is famed for monuments like the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Vatican City - the smallest country in the world. Italy is the birthplace of the Renaissance, a period that produced artists and scholars such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo who left an unparalleled cultural legacy. Internationally renowned for its cuisine, Italy is the land of pizza, pasta, and world-class wine, inviting its visitors to indulge in its rich and diverse gastronomic culture. The breathtaking landscapes of the Amalfi Coast, the romantic waterways of Venice, and the rustic charm of Tuscany offer a compelling blend of sightseeing delights and leisurely pursuits.

When traveling to Italy, normal security precautions are recommended, as stated by both the Canadian and Australian governments. However, be mindful that the United States Government suggests exercising increased caution due to potential terrorism threats. Stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings at all times.

I went to the Cinque Terre at the end of August 2023. I dreamed about this trip for a long time and didn't want to wait after others to go so I went on my own. It was an amazing trip! People are really nice there. It was, at the same time, peaceful and full of life. Wandering the streets of this beautiful villages felt southing even though the villages were crowded at this time. I can only recommend this trip, alone or not.
