Italy has no lack of romantic destinations for couples. Cinque Terre is just one of many. This lovely coastal area in Liguria is a must-visit, especially if you want to avoid larger, busier cities like Rome or Venice. So what can a Cinque Terre vacation offer you on your trip for two?

 Escaping the city on your Cinque Terre vacation

There’s nothing more romantic than watching the sunset with your special someone. Riomaggiore gives you a picturesque view of the setting sun, almost as if you’re admiring a postcard in real life. Cinque Terre’s easternmost village is dotted with charming pastel buildings and rocky hills, making sunsets feel even more comforting and unforgettable.

What’s a night without a few drinks on the Italian coastline? Manarola, one of Cinque Terre’s five villages, is home to a dazzling selection of bars, perfect for the adventurous couple. You can dance the night away to your favorite tunes or hike up Punta Bonfiglio, taking in the breeze as you admire Cinque Terre from above.

Need a day of relaxation after a long night? Don’t worry—you can journey on to Corniglia, the middle village of Cinque Terre. Corniglia is a little more peaceful than the other towns, perhaps due to its unique geography. This village sits on top of a 330-foot-high promontory, making it slightly more difficult to reach.

The hike to Corniglia is definitely worth it, though. Once you reach the settlement, you’ll be greeted by colorful homes, narrow, winding alleys, and a stunning view of all five villages.

Right next to Corniglia is Vernazza, home to Cinque Terre’s tiny yet charming harbor. But besides admiring the colorful boats dotting the shore, you can explore the town’s cobbled streets, stopping by quaint cafés and relaxing at Piazza Marconi.

With an unending view of the sea, it’s hard not to crave a few hours at the beach. Luckily, Cinque Terre’s final town, Monterosso, is also home to the coastline’s best beach. You can soak up the sun right by the coast while sipping a cold glass of limoncello, a local specialty.
