Favorite thing: The first thing you should do when you arrive in the Cinque Terra is buy the Cinque Terra card. They are available in 1, 3 and 5 day passes, and allow for unlimited journeys between the towns, free transport in the towns by the area's electric vans, and give you entry into the hiking trails maintained by the park. All of these things are worth the price by themselves, but maybe the best part of it, is that the proceeds go towards restoration and upkeep of the region. With all the tourism generated by the area's beauty, we must all do our part to keep the place beautiful for everyone after us. Naturally, this goes for every place we visit! But, especially one as fragile an environment as the Cinque Terra.
Prices:
- Eur 5.20 (1 day )
- Eur 12.40 (3 day )
- Eur 19.50 (7 days)

Favorite thing: The path from Manorola to Riomaggiore is know as Via dell' Amore. For me, it was my least favorite path, because the name attracts all of the tourists to it. It is concreted over, so it lends itself to an artificial feel. I much prefered the dirt paths up into the hills above the villages, though they are a bit harder for those looking to stay easy.

Favorite thing: Without a doubt, one of the best things to do in the Cinque Terra is to take in the natural beauty of the area. The best way to do that is to hike one of the numerous trails. Hikes range from 20 minutes (Manorola to Riomaggiore) to 12 hours (Porto Venere to Levanto). A hike taking in all of the 5 villages will take about 4 to 4 1/2 hours. None of the trails directly between the villages are hard. Only when you start using some of the trails in the mountains and forests, do they become moderately difficult. Of course, if you have any medical issues, you should take care on any hike. (Sorry, I am a physical therapist!)

Favorite thing: Manarola is one of the 5 cinque terre in between Corniglia and Riomaggiore. I chose to base myself here while staying in the CT but all 5 towns have their own unique charm.
