Insane crowds this summer

I'd love to go back to Cinque Terre, but can't imagine dealing with the crowds. I'm so thankful someone casually mentioned the place to me many years ago when I was planning a trip to Italy and I decided to add it in.

I don’t think that this is a surprise to anyone. While there are some places I avoid due to crowds (Pike Place Market-Seattle, Vatican Museums-Italy) for the rest I just go and enjoy. Timing matters, but for the most part the places are still bearable.
