One Italian location has been gaining a lot of traction with travelers \u2013 the Cinque Terre, a collection of five small fishing villages on the Ligurian coastline.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When it comes to bucket list destinations, Italy probably ranks very highly on most people\u2019s lists. From the ancient grandeur of <\/span>Roman ruins<\/span><\/a> to celebrated vineyards, Italy is one of the best places in Europe to visit for the sheer volume of things to do. And lately another Italian location has been gaining a lot of traction with travelers \u2013 the Cinque Terre, a collection of five small fishing villages on the Ligurian coastline. The Cinque Terre is one of the most beautiful places not just in Europe, but in the world \u2013 and it should definitely be on every Italy lover\u2019s bucket list! Here\u2019s why the Cinque Terre is so beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Five Towns to Explore<\/span><\/h2>\n

As the Italian name implies, the Cinque Terre features <\/span>five towns<\/span><\/a> that are ripe for exploration. There\u2019s so much to see and do that you would be hard-pressed to do it all in one trip! First time visitors should definitely try to get a little bit of time in each town \u2013 the vibes are similar in all of them, but each has its own nuance. For example, Monterosso al Mare is the largest of the five towns and also has the largest beach. Vernazza has a lot of Old World Mediterranean charm. And Manarola is where to go when you want the best in Italian <\/span>seafood<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Colors Are Out of This World<\/span><\/h2>\n

When viewing the sweeping vistas of the towns of the Cinque Terre, it\u2019s easy to think that you\u2019ve just stepped into the world of a painting. The colors present here are hardly matched anywhere else in the world. The deep blue sea contrasts with verdant greens from the mountain trees, and right in between are the pastel colors of classic Mediterranean architecture. It\u2019s a real treat on the eyes \u2013 when showing photos to your friends afterward, they may even think you photoshopped your pictures!<\/span><\/p>\n

Practice <\/span>Dolce Far Niente<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

Another beautiful part of the Cinque Terre is the mindset of local residents, who are always welcoming and hospitable to visitors. You may have heard of <\/span>dolce vita<\/span><\/i> \u2013 the life of pleasure. But Cinque Terre residents preach the <\/span>dolce far niente<\/span><\/i> \u2013 the art of doing nothing. This local mindset allows one to take a step back, relax, and really enjoy oneself and their surroundings. For those of us who love traveling, this can really be a fresh new perspective, especially if you\u2019re the type who always seems to be on the move at your destination!<\/span><\/p>\n
