Top 15 Things you should do in the Cinque Terre and photos that make you want to go there ASAP

This is long overdue, I´ve told you a couple of times and so here I am finally doing it. YAY! This is a very photo-heavy post. Hope you enjoy!

1. Walk to the church on the mountain: Santa Maria di Montenero (close to Riomaggiore)
   The view over almost all of the Cinque Terre is breathtaking, as well as the beautiful scenery!
2. Eat in Vernazza
   
3. Swim in the sea
   
   
4. Sit down on the rocks somewhere and watch the sunset
   
   
5. Hike the way from Riomaggiore to Manarola
   

   

   

   This is a very challenging hike. It´s mostly composed of walking up 1000 stairs. For those sport-freaks of you out there, it´s really fun and even for those who aren´t that fit I´d suggest it, with a few breaks you´ll master it just as well. The feeling of achievement up there is just amazing.
   If you´re not tired yet, grab a snack or eat a little something and go on the

6. Hike from Vernazza to Monterosso
   
   This one is the most popular one, therefore it´s mostly very crowded. You´ll find people from so many countries there, connecting with them with only one look that says everything:”Damn-this-is-hard-and-I´m-sweating-but-it´s-so-worth-it-everything-is-just-so-beautiful”
   There´s no one to blame, since the views at every corner are just breathtaking, but it is quite something, if you´re walking in the sun and aren´t used to going up and down constantly.
   For me it was just amazing, because I went the same way the year before and this time is was so easy, meaning all my hard work paid off!!
   
7. Take a boat-ride from one small town to another
   
   
   
8. Eat the best Fish
   
   
9. and the best Pizza
10. Try to get to know people who live there
    Go in one of those tiny shops and buy something there and small-talk a little. Or talk to your neighbors on the beach… Or sit at the beach long enough to see who owns these cute boats…no, maybe that´s a little creepy..
    
11. Get to know people from different countries
    Maybe you´ve mastered a hard hike with someone constantly hiking before you. Maybe the nice family/couple/person at the next table are very nice and you start to exchange words over the things on the menu… You never know… Just be open and friendly and you´ll surely get to know some people, maybe even a new friend?!
12. Just sit on the beach and look at the sea
    
    
13. Take strolls on the beach
    

    

14. If you have goggles, take a look underwater
    The water is very clear if it´s not stormy weather and you can see all kinds on fish there!
15. Take time to breathe in the clear, salty air and just enjoy your stay
