Oh my goodness, that means so much , I really appreciate it - I just read your comment to my wife, haha she liked it :) I certainly try to be, I'm learning and having fun along the way, thanks for watching!

Stay the night, Take the walking trail between Corniglia - Vernazza. Breath taking! It is worth it, just don't rush through it, its not an amusement park.. Its like most of Europe, its not there for your amusement.. embrace the scenery, the people, the food and just observe in silence and you will have a great experience!

It's a great call-out, I wish we could have budgeted more time to do the trails (although many of them were closed for restoration). It's impossible to see everything in a day, or 2 days or even 3 days, but slowing down is good advice for all.

Such a beautiful place! Thanks for the best content!

Ayyyyyy have so much fun! I would check to see if the hiking trails are open, might be worth it to hike between a few towns. Ciao! 🇮🇹

So basically one day is not enough since you haven't actually seen all of them. You missed the essence of Corniglia and you have seen only the waterfront of the "new town" of monterosso. The actual town of Monterosso (the old town) is located at the other side od the tunnel towards vernazza. Still very nice video of a full day in cinque terre. We did the same in 3 days and i think that we have experienced everything that the place has to offer by taking it easy and with no rushing and train hopping.

Correct - we missed old town Monterosso, and pretty much the whole strip/view point of Corniglia (lame!). I think when we come back we will pick 3 towns and spend a little longer in each of those (manarola, Corgnilia & monterosso). Thankyou very much for your comment, the constructive additions and the compliment - you don’t see much of that anymore! Appreciate it 🤙🏽

I probably would go back to Nessun Dorma, I feel like the food and drink wasn’t too expensive and the view is just the best of the day, and we had 6 people so the wait was a bit longer, if you are a couple or 3/4 people it probably will be a shorter wait.

Hi, great video. Will be going in the summer. While in Italy was there a particular train line that you used and did you get your tickets in advance for traveling ? Also if i just do Vernazza,Manatola and Riomaggiore is it worth staying in La Spezia?

@JacksonMeyer

7 ай бұрын

omg I'm jealous, I absolutely LOVE Italy. Here's what I'll say, Summer is hectic in Cinque Terre, I'd spend 2-3 days maximum and plan on a day trip north of cinque terre into lesser known villages that have fewer crowds. We stayed in La Spezia just a 10 minute walk to the train station. Its the "Levanto - La Spezia" line and we bought tickets when we arrived. Get on the train from La Spezia that is headed to Levanto and it will stop at every town, and I would start the day at the farthest north village as it will be the quietest and then move south as the day happens. Manarola is my fave. Have an amazing time!

We ended up changed with someone holding a towel up, and the Europeans don’t care, they’ll change wherever. We ended up using the restrooms at the lunch restaurant we ate at.

I don't understand why all these American tourists go there for one day but then spend weeks in big concrete cities. Stay in cinque terre for at least a week and take your time, it's a beautiful unique experience to explore the towns without rush and connect with locals, go swimming, hiking, make some pesto, so much you can do

@JacksonMeyer

Hey there, thanks for watching the video and commenting, I'll let you in on my thoughts, most people... especially 'American tourists' don't have much time off, I get 2 weeks per year and so that forces many of us to speed through experiences to see and do the most in that short amount of time. Cinque Terre certainly isn't a place most people are going to want to spend 2 weeks here when you can also do Tuscany, Como, Garda, Dolomites, etc within driving distance. I made this video because all I had was a short stop here and wanted to share my thoughts on if you can do it all in a day. Would I like to spend more time here? Sure.... but in the shoulder season and for just a few more days

Yeah i get it, I guess it's different for me, I live in south of Netherlands right next to Belgium and I just like to hop in my car and do road trips all over Europe, I understand if you have to fly in from America it's different, I just get in my car and drive somewhere for a week or two but, I'm just saying, that whole region in the Italian riviera is stunning, you can drive to bordighera, levante, or laghetti rocchetta nervina, which is probably the most beautiful place I've ever seen with natural rock pools. Or I drive to the dolomites and go village hopping from ortisei to chiusa and so on. I don't make videos but when I see American tourists rush through it, it's kind of strange but I get it yes, I work for myself so I have a lot of time but I'm glad U enjoy europe

Sometimes I just don't pack anything, just grab 2 shirts 2 pants some underwear and socks and some camping gear and drive to lauterbrunnen to go camp for a weekend, the only money I'm really spending is the fuel for my car, buy some local cheese and sausage and walk through villages and nature of Switzerland, camp for 2 days, relax and drive back home
