1Cinque Terre, Italy
Cinque Terre, a stunning stretch of five colorful fishing villages along Italy’s Ligurian coast, is one of Europe’s most picturesque summer destinations. These villages—Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore—are perched on steep cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, connected by hiking trails that offer jaw-dropping views of the coastline.
In the summer, the villages come alive with visitors looking to explore their narrow streets, swim in secluded coves, and indulge in delicious seafood and local wines. Cinque Terre’s rugged beauty and laid-back atmosphere make it an ideal spot for a summer escape.
