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.

My first solo trip was to Cinque Terre. I took the train from Milan and in one day and a half, I visited all 5 villages while doing some hiking in between. It was quite fast but it totally worth it in the end. I felt quite safe. I stayed in a hostel at La Spezia.

We flew to Pisa (really cheap flights there) then took the train to La Spezia which is a city just a 10 minute train journey from the beginning of the Cinque Terre. We stayed there the night we arrived as it’s so cheap. We then booked an air bnb in Vernazza (the fourth town of the Cinque Terre) for two nights which was also really cheap) and explored all the towns from there. I really enjoyed the trip as there’s so much to do. We kayaked between the towns/hiked between some/did a pesto making class/went to the beach/explored the towns. So much to do.

I had gone to Cinque Terre in May. Weather was absolutely lovely. As for food, i had eaten seafood and fish, the best dishes i have ever tasted. One of the restaurants was at the tip of Riomaggiore. Highly recommend it.

I stayed in La Spezia when visiting Cinque Terre and it was super practical as I could get to the Cinque Terre villages by a quick train ride. La Spezia is a super nice little city too; not that many tourists (at least off season) and lots of nice little restaurants.
