Easy access, great public transport, clean beaches, friendly locals, extraordinary food, perfect weather and eye-candy architecture. The water at the beach is so clean, you see your feet underwater. There are curious fish around the shore looking for some crumbs, occasionally running into your leg.

Cinque Terre is a national park in northern Italy, which unites five villages with colored houses on the rocks. We spent two days here and visited four towns. In general, this is enough time to take a leisurely walk and explore everything. We traveled by car and traveled from village to village along the highways that run through the mountains and offer stunning views of the vineyards – Cinque Terre is a famous wine region. At least three of the five villages are pedestrian zones, so the car...

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.

Cinque Terre is breathtakingly beautiful with its colorful cliffside villages and stunning sea views. Ideal for hiking and relaxation, it offers a unique blend of natural beauty and charming Italian culture.

I felt safe all the long of the short trip, even hiking by myself. No harassment, no catcalling in the small villages or the main town nearby, La Spezia. Felt even safe at the various train stations I waited the train at.

7am-9pm hike all villages, one day. Hostel outside CT, took the train to 1st village. Swam and ate gelato or a meal in each village. Things were fairly marked. When in doubt I asked locals. Met many solo women hiking. Best solo experience!

Cinque Terre is charming, but... in my opinion, it's a bit boring. The towns are beautiful, but identical; each of them consists of just one street and there are not many charming nooks where you can hide from the crowd and admire the views.

My first solo trip was to Cinque Terre. I was there in April. I didn't stay in Cinque Terre, but in the town of Framura. I spent one day in Cinque Terre, and the rest in Pisa, Lucca, Bonassola, Framura and La Spezia. I felt safe.

Cinque Terre is beautiful. There are many small towns with colorful houses right by the ocean on the cliffs. There are also very beautiful walking routes from one town to another, but there is also a train that stops in every town. I was there in September and it wasn't overly crowded.

Absolutely beautiful and romantic. Small airbnb in Vernazza was just a place to drop our bags while we traversed the trails connecting the five villages. The terraced vineyards and Venetian architecture complete the fairy tale honeymoon.
