CINQUE TERRE, Italy

The Cinque Terre is a string of coastal villages where color, sea, and hillside meet in perfect harmony. Bright houses cling to steep cliffs, narrow streets wind between cafes and shops, and the turquoise waves lap at the rocky shores below. Each village has its own rhythm, but all share a quiet charm that feels timeless, inviting you to slow down and take in the stunning views at every turn. Without a doubt, Riomaggiore is the heart of it all, and that’s where I’d recommend you stay if you want to capture the most stunning sunset view this coastal Italy region has to offer.
