I checked out of Plus Florence and headed to Milan for the weekend. Milan was rainy and wasn’t really all that exciting for the moment so I decided to head on another day trip and followed a tip from one of the staff members I met at Plus and journeyed to Cinque Terra.
Cinque Terra
Cinque Terra is a gem!! I recommend this place highly to anyone wanting to see the beauty of the Italian coastline. Wow I wish I planned to have spent more time here. Cinque Terra is a small city built into the rocks of the coast of northern Italy. It consists of 5 small cities by the name of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, ManaRola, and Riomaggiore. Absolutely amazing place to visit. I spent most of my time there hiking from city to city amazed that this little town existed and that it was not more world renown. I randomly ran into some people I met at the hostel and we hiked around from city to city trying to find the hard to see places and grabbing some food and drinks here and there. My favorite city was Riomaggiore because they had this beautiful little cliff walk named Lovers Lane that lovers would come and bring locks and lock them on the fence or somewhere along the trail to symbolize their love locked together forever in Cinque Terra. It was darling. I also really enjoyed Monterosso because it had a lovely beach and the sun was shining and it was kind of the main port town with lots going on. I think the most beautiful was Manarola or Corniglia because they were the highest up and overlooking a beautiful countryside and ocean view. Anyone that comes to Italy must come here.
