A Perfect Day in Cinque Terre

Cinque Terre is the name given to a stretch of five towns on the enchanting Italian riviera. I fell in love with this place far before I ever visited it. The pastel colored buildings, perched precariously on the cliffside and gazing out onto the sea are enough to make anyone’s heart skip a beat. Vernazza, my favorite, is the quaintest of the five. It is lined with cafes along it’s cobbled main street, and a bar hanging off the edge of the castle. However, it’s impossible to be disappointed with any of the five towns. A gorgeous hike, a train ride or a fast ferry will help you easily move between them.
