Viewpoint in Cinque Terre

Beaches, temples, waterfalls, viewpoints and markets — the things worth building days around. Nothing here is booked on this page: each one says what it is and how long people spend there, then points at the stays and tours in the same area.

Viewpoint on Riomaggiore and the sea

The view back over Riomaggiore's stacked houses dropping to the harbour — the photograph that sells the Cinque Terre. On the path above the village, a short steep walk from the station. Best in the last hour of light, when the west-facing front is lit.
