Hike through Cinque Terre

Riomaggiore, Italy

Description

Cinque Terre is made up of five small beach towns that you can hike between. Make sure to stop for some gelato in one of the towns!

Train into La Spezia to start the day. Then hike, train, or boat between all five towns! The five towns are Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. Corniglia is the only village not on the coast, but is a beautiful hilltop village famous for their fine wines. They even have small hotels for rent if you are planning to stay a few nights. At most towns you can jump in the water and go for a swim.

Hike from Camogli to San Fruttoso

You can either start in Camogli, hike to San Fruttoso and take a ferry back (like we did). Do this as an out-and-back hike. Or take the ferry to San Fruttoso and hike in the reverse to Camogli. Here is a link to the schedule, but always double check. Also, you're exposed for roughly 80% of this hike, so be prepared with water and sunblock. Starting in the heart of Camogli, you'll need to walk ...

Stroll through the Boboli Gardens

Walking through Boboli was a meditative experience for me. I left more tranquil and contemplative than when I came in. By no means was I in a bad mood before, but it was only a matter of time before my walk intoxicated me with the glow that only comes from quality time in nature. It took over 400 years to build these once private gardens, and due to historical significance, they are now a UNESC...
