Cinque Terre, Italy

The Cinque Terre is a rugged stretch of coastline on Liguria’s Italian Riviera. The spectacular Cinque Terre National Park boasts five dramatically beautiful villages—Corniglia, Manarola, Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza and Riomaggiore—all connected by a hiking trail that hugs steep cliffs high above azure waters. This area became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 for its magnificent coastal scenery and traditional agrarian lifestyle.
