They are apples and oranges, which one appeals to you more? Are you a hiker or an art lover,?

Venice hands down over CT.

I haven't been to Cinque Terre, but I believe it is somewhat similar to the Amalfi coast. Venice is unique, so I would choose that.

We love Art & architecture as well as hiking...
Wondering if we did CT & then when we get down to Florence and after a couple days there , it takes an hour to take a fast train from Florence to see Venice, one night and next day. That sound too crazy?

The CT will be crowded, even in September. Venice will be crowded around St Marks Square and Rialto, but a few blocks away Venice will be low key and magical, at any time of day. Go to bed in Venice and wake up in Venice. We stay on the back canals in the Cannaregio area.
Have a great trip!
