Riomaggiore Travel Guide: 310 reviews and 780 photos
I haven't yet visited the whole of Italy, but from what I've seen so far, my favourite place is the Cinque Terre. Ok, the Amalfi Coast is beautiful, but the Cinque Terre is captivating.
There are 5 picturesque villages perched on the cliffs and you can walk between them, amazing at the beauty that this region has to offer.
It is magic here - but don't tell everyone!
Riomaggiore is the first of the five Cinque Terre villages. This small village has a steep main street, lined with colourful homes and shops.
Bright coloured fishing boats bob in the small, rocky harbour and the rocks are covered with locals soaking up some Cinque Terre sunshine.

Thanks for the excellent tip on the hikes from Riomaggiore to Monterosso - very helpful indeed!
Good page. Ciao!
Love your tip on the Cinque Terre Trails. We hiked them on possibly the hottest day of August - I don't what my friends and I were thinking! But the views were spectacular and I didn't want to leave.
Gorgeous updates here. I am surprised that you have used the lift for getting downwards instead of upwards. Oh well, yes, the Italians seem to have odd fruit salad, but I am glad to read that you got your daily ice creams fix. *winkygrin*
What a pittoresque intro photo! I always wanted to travel to this area, so I hope that I will one day.
yes indeed. We found this place the first day of our 3-day visit and were back every day to cool off, have a beir and a little spuntino and watch the ships roll by. Bonus: prices were very reasonable.
Gradually working my way along the coast as you see (if rather erratically!) Your great tips and beautiful photos continue to tempt us ;)
thank You for Your kind words about our La Lanterna. Please, note our new e-mail address: ginomargaret@fastwebnet.it. Best regards
This is beautiful. It brings back very happy memories of one of my favourite spots on the planet. Yet another place we hope to return to soon!!
Wonderful page, Sue! I am so much looking forward to going there this coming September!
