Why CORNIGLIA was our FAVORITE village in Cinque Terre, Italy! #traveltips #italytravel
Our favorite village in CINQUE TERRE ℹ️ Corniglia is the smallest of the five villages and the least visited. One reason might be the nearly 400 steps you have to climb to reach the clifftop village from the train station. (*There are shuttle buses going up & down though)
Nonetheless, this village was our absolute FAVORITE and a true gem. Since it’s not (yet) overrun by hordes of tourists in its quaint little streets, we absolutely adored soaking in the atmosphere here. It feels less touristic and has the most authentic feeling out of the five.
⏩ BEST THINGS TO DO IN CORNIGLIA
🍋 Wander through the medieval old town: The charm of Corniglia really lies in its narrow alleyways and hidden side passages.
🍷 Try out the local delicacies: Our favorite place to grab lunch was Bar Pan e Vin, where you can try out many of the local delicacies as well as their delicious local wine.
🍧 Eat a gelato: If you are craving gelato, head over to Alberto Gelateria, they have a wide variety of flavors but we insist you once try the Basilico e Limone flavor. It became our new favorite after visiting Cinque Terre!
⛱️ Check out the panoramic viewing platform, from where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Ligurian Sea, and the rugged coastlines. You can even spot the other villages from here.
🍇 The other side of the village also has a lovely viewing point. Since Corniglia sits on top of a terraced hill, you have the perfect vantage point of the surrounding vineyards. Views for days!
