    I love Cinque Terre. I used to spend my childhood nearby, close to La Spezia, so the whole Riviera Ligure holds a special spot in my heart.

    Vernazza was easily our favorite of all the towns we saw in Italy. We went at shoulder season and our AirBnb host met us right as we got off the train. She told us about Sarah who we could arrange a boat ride with when our original plans fell thru. The boat had a meat and cheese board and wine, absolutely perfect. Our host also booked us a reservation at a great restaurant on the Mediterranean that did not disappoint… our charming waiter came out in a variety of hats and sang to our tables. Very memorable.

    Shoulder season confined: stayed in Monterosso last week in May 2018, left just as hundreds of tourists arrived with their wheeled suitcases. Shoulder season it has a very ‘sleepy fishing village’ vibe with mainly locals and just a few ‘in the know’ tourists. Great for hiking, walking, swimming (little cold in May but endurable) and soaking in the clear blue waters ❤️😍❤️

    I actually hiked from Vernazza to Monterosso Al Mare and then hung out on the beach, but next time I go back I think I'll do the boat ride to get a different perspective of the coast, but the hike was amazing and you get some amazing views as well. And I agree, I went during the summer and it was blazing hot and packed, but still worth it IMO too. Thanks for another great video!

    I think if more people were to remember that anytime any of us travel somewhere, we are all tourists, no matter what label anyone chooses to give themselves or how any of us choose to spend the time ….& that everyone has as much right to be there as the next person. If we all made the most of enjoying the experience with the people around us, it would be a lot less stressful. Nobody can go to somewhere popular and expect to have it to themselves. We should all be more prepared to embrace the company & maybe even make some friends. ( as an introvert, this is something I am working on )

    Although the boat ride is nice, you can also take the Cinque Terre Express that goes from Monterosso up until Riomaggiore. You can take it paying through Omio or at the train station (5eur one way). For The boats there's also a whole day boat for 32eur (reduced for kids). It can get super busy in monterosso but there's also some free beaches. During the morning is great, and for cocktails at the beach you can get a whole bucket for 15eur. Of course the prices are inflated because of tourists. If you want to be more aventurous trekking is great. From Levanto you can hike to Monterosso (12k hike)

    Only €40 !!! train is a bargain :-) And the shoulder season is better not only because less crowds, but because it really get's too hot in the summer. I would stay at the towns at either end of 5T and get a train in and out each day. I had to do that as we were on a road trip of Italy and it was the only option to have secure car parking.

If you want to hike there is the permit for hiking that also contains unlimited train rides between the villages plus free wifi in the train stations plus free access to the bathrooms.

    After a month in Italy, Cinque Terre was my favourite. I wouldn't take a 40€ ferry ahaha the train is like 5€. I think the best places are when you go on top of the mountains when hiking. Hiking is the real gem to me. Didn't care at all abt the cities. It's also lonely at the top, no tourists! Or maybe that was because it was mid-May.

    She is a tourist, so coming here is not an issue at any time. The key is finding a true local guide who can take you around & teach you about Cinque Terre. The history of this place will amaze you. Do Not Take a day trip here. You are being ripped off by coming from Firenze for the day. The train ride is 3 hours up & 3 hours back. plus you are one of these big tours she is talking about. Staying in one of the villages makes your stay much more desirable & the tours leave at 7 pm. There is a Cinque Terre park pass for E 18.20 that will give you Train, village bus, trail, wi-fi, & bathrooms from 4:30 am till Midnight. (1, 2, & 3 day passes available) Try looking for Trekguyd in Riomaggiore can point you in the right direction.
