  • 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!

    Just got back from Italy and the CT about a month ago. I fell in love with this beautiful country and the CT at first sight with my eyes. Please enjoy everything it has to offer you when you travel there. The Italian people are extremely friendly and want you to have a good time and want you to enjoy your stay there. Be careful on the erosion boulders that protect the little towns of the CT. I slipped on those huge rocks and basically did a pin ball maneuver hitting rock after rock til my resting place was wedged between 4 rocks with my feet sticking up in the air. Didn't help that I was recovering from too much delicious vini from the night before. Thankfully, I was not hurt and some good Samaritans came to my rescue helping me. Oh, and Focaccia is just so delicious it is not even funny.. Ciao!!

    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!

The road to and from Vernazza is narrow, winding and very steep. And . . . takes forever. Once you get there - unless you have a gate pass - you have to park 1km away from the village. Repeat.

      No non regge più la scusa,i cittadini italiani non hanno mai,mai,mai,mai reagito come si deve alle ingiustizie alla povertà e all'indigenza di milioni d'Italiani,in questi 15 anni, ricordiamo che oggi milioni d'Italiani soffrono e non sanno come mangiare domani! Qua ragazzi non esiste ancora nel 2018 uno strumento contro l'indigenza ma ne vogliamo parlare? ci rendiamo conto? Strumento che esiste in tutta Europa, ma vi ricordate la reazione che hanno avuto i francesi quando vi erano fame e carestia? Altro che tollerare, hanno iniziato a tagliare teste ad una ad una, e noi siamo quelli che purtroppo non hanno mai reagito, abbiamo sempre subito come disgraziati qualsiasi, prendete un'aereo per l'Europa state un paio di giorni in una qualsiasi capitale d'Europa poi tornate,allora capirete, vi verrà un magone perchè vi renderete conto di esser stati tenuti all'oscuro di come funziona veramente uno stato, di come si sviluppa uno stato, abbiamo tollerato situazioni che non si sarebbero dovute tollerare,ecco questi siamo noi,un popolo incapace di prendere coscienza di ciò che succede, di reagire alle ingiustizie che sono avvenute per decenni, un popolo che si è ammalato in questi ultimi 15 anni, si è ammalato,molti si sono suicidati, solo nella mia città 5 persone si sono tolte la vita, e un ragazzino che si è buttato sotto il treno, e allora? vedete per caso qualcuno che finanzia l'economia italiana che finanzia i giovani,quanto ci vuole a capire che la finanza se l'è fregata qualcuno e che non fa più il suo dovere? Non c'è più il paese è abbandonato e se ne accorgerebbe anche un cieco, l'Italia è stata esautorata della sovranità,sembra uno stato fantoccio,servile ed impotente,non hai visto che i francesi hanno sconfinato e ci hanno buttato gli immigrati nel nostro territorio? E dov'era il nostro esercito? Capisci cosa intendo per stato fantoccio?

    Beautiful video! As an Italian living in the US I love watching these videos. My husband and I are heading to Italy for two weeks tomorrow for an end of summer romantic getaway and to visit my family there. Seeing the food in this video is seriously making me hungry ... pasta, pesto and anchovies ... delicious perfection. I'm happy you enjoyed your time in my home country Rick :) These videos really are so lovely and relaxing to watch but most of all so cultural ❤️💚 🇮🇹

    Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

      Howard Koor Change is only possible for those who open their mind. And people from poor backgrounds don't get to experience the luxuries of travel, even if they become wealthy. Traveling teaches you a lot. But it's only people with open minds who truly learn. That can be said for anything in life. Also, travelling creates memories. Never travel with temporary people or people you know won't be in your life 30 years from now.

      Marcus LeeP agreed. rick is the best. his free audioguide app on iTunes made my trip to italy last week very educational and enjoyable. so easy to use and i didn't have to pay for the audioguides at all the tourist places like the colosseum. the roughly 50 euros i saved by the end of the 3 week trip meant we could spend more on our last dinner there! (well, more like more booze at dinner, really. but all the same).

    was there last week for the second time (first time was in 2004, stayed in vernazza). still as beautiful as ever, esp. if you do the hike and get the amazing views. getting out on the super clean and warm water and looking back at all the villages is stunning too (monterosso has the best beach to swim out from or to rent a paddle boat from). extremely crowded in july though and quite noisy at night in the party village of riomaggiore where we stayed. stay in one of the other towns if you want some quiet at night. monterosso probably has the nicest places to stay and more stuff around if you like to stroll at night or have late night drinks, but away from the backpacker crowd. some of the locals aren't too enthused with the throngs of tourists either, esp. since i was last there (i saw some pretty horrific tourist behaviour this time, so am not exactly surprised!). you will get some very nice and hospitable service and you will get some horrible service. the nicer you are, the nicer they are. def worth a visit at least once!

      The Cinque Terre area really is gorgeous. The beaches are not like the Cancun white powder sand or 15 different shaeds of blue but still a slice of Italian history with gorgeous views, friendly locals and lots of local wines, focaccia, olives & pesto:-)
      The Cinque Terre trains connect the La Spezia train station to all five towns. Unlimited day passes are available for tourists, and the trip from one village to another is five minutes or less.You can also take the boat from La Spezia if you want to soak up the Mediterranean sun and view the towns from the Ligurian Sea.
      Just a reminder that the villages of the Cinque Terre were severely affected by torrential rains which caused floods and mudslides on October 25, 2011. Nine people were confirmed killed by the floods, and damage to the villages, particularly Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare, was extensive.
      Has a safe an awesome trip Crytal:-)
