Italy's Riviera: Cinque Terre

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | Exploring Italy’s most remote and romantic stretch of Riviera, we visit five tiny port towns: dramatic Vernazza, surrounded by vineyards; reclusive Corniglia, high on its bluff; pastel Manarola; hardscrabble Riomaggiore; and the pint-sized resort of Monterosso. Fishing for anchovies, sipping wine out of rustic barrels, and savoring twinkling Mediterranean vistas, we enjoy the ultimate Riviera adventure. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #cinqueterre

As an ordinary man, from a poor south american country, travelling is not to be dreamed of in our reality. I've been delighting myself, though, with these precious programs Mr. Steves has so generously and gracefully brought to us over the years. It just struck me now I never even said a word of thanks. So here it is: Thank you, Mr. Rick Steves for sharing with us the joy of travelling and getting to know different places, peoples and cultures! Best wishes from Brazil!

How is italy NOT a real life fairytale? Beautiful towns all around, friendly people, gorgeous language, nice weather, amazing history, AND delicious food? How much better could it possibly get?

Rick I've been watching you for years. I have a walking disability and this my way of traveling. No one can compare to your beautiful video's and your special side trips. It's wonderful to watch you on YouTube! Thank you so much!

Italy is an open museum. Culture, History, Art, the beautiful language, landscapes, music, food etc

Rick - I truly appreciate the large amount of respect you pay to the people and the places you visit. You never fail to make me understand what it's really like to be and live in all of the places you visit. Thanks for your work!

I’m watching this on the 17th of March 2020 and it’s making me so sad. A once thriving nation full of happiness and laughter is now quiet and barren. Fight on Italy!!! RIP COVID-19 victims. ❤️ from the USA

I visited this place when I was 23. Best time of my life and what amazing wine 🍷. Italy has it all!

Wow, Cinque Terre is an absolute gem! The vibrant colors of the houses perched on the cliffs against the backdrop of the azure Mediterranean sea are simply breathtaking. Exploring the narrow streets and picturesque villages felt like stepping back in time. The local cuisine, with its fresh seafood and pesto dishes, is a culinary delight. I highly recommend visiting all five villages - Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore - to truly immerse yourself in the beauty of Cinque Terre. It's a true paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Can't wait to go back and experience its charm again!

Thank you so much Mr. STeves for this wonderful documentation of the beautiful landscape Cinque Terre in Italy, where I have also been a long time ago. I lived in Italy ( Umbria, also very beautiful place) for almost 10 years and back in my country Germany already a long time, I am still missing " la mia bella ITalia ", con it´s nice and friendly people and its beautiful countryside all over and of course the Italian food and way of living. I have seen almost every part of ITaly, except Sicilia and I hope I can return one day when this terrible Pandemia is over.

Great memories! I went here 9 years ago with my family, when I was 13. Even at that age I utterly loved it. We were staying in Vernazza and visited the other 4 towns. It was beautiful. Recommend Cinque Terre to anyone and everyone!

[MrJfpurcell]

With Covid-19 in its sixth month, and most not able to travel, it was a breath of Italian sea air to view Rick in Italy's Riviera: Cinque Terre. At 70, I hope my wife and I can walk the five cities on a future trip to coastal Italy. Thank you Rick Steves!

I think this is my favorite of Rick’s videos, and I love all I’ve seen. I’d love to hang in this part of Italy. I pray that this wonderful country bounces back from C19 very soon!!

[nunzioc]

I celebrated my 55th there, and Tuscany a bucket list of mine...this video brought back pleasurable memories. Thanks Steve.

[RickyRicardo]

This was the best part of my Italy tour! Thank you for covering it, it is truly a hidden gem.
