3 Days in the Cinque Terre

Hi! I recommend staying in the same town for all three days and using that as your base to explore the surrounding towns. This is what I am doing when I travel there in June. The towns are so close to one another and reachable by hike, train, or even ferry in good weather. Which town you stay in depends on what you're looking for and when you're going, I think. I'm staying in Riomaggiore.

Here is a post (a little old) about the different towns:

I also recommend the Rick Steves Cinque Terre snapshot guide. It provides a great overview of each town as well as maps.

Yes, just stay in one town. I like Monterosso because of the beach and we love eating at Ciak (the BEST Pesto in the world!).

Thank you both. I can't even begin to tell you how EXCITED i am!!!!!!!!

The villages are literally 5 min or less to each other by train, so no need to split up your time.
