- Millions of tourists visit the cozy villages of Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera every year. After having traveled here multiple times during the last few years, I want to tell you everything you need to know about how to have your own amazing experience in Italy. Let me know in the comments where else you would like to see me make a travel guide!

Vernazza was easily our favorite of all the towns we saw in Italy. We went at shoulder season and our AirBnb host met us right as we got off the train. She told us about Sarah who we could arrange a boat ride with when our original plans fell thru. The boat had a meat and cheese board and wine, absolutely perfect. Our host also booked us a reservation at a great restaurant on the Mediterranean that did not disappoint… our charming waiter came out in a variety of hats and sang to our tables. Very memorable.
I would love to know which Airbnb!!
Lexie how can you mix up the currency value of the euro having traveled so much around europe? By the way, 40 euros is an amount I would not spend for a 20-30 Min. boat ride, but that's just me!
She later said that the boat ride cost $20USD - could have just been an honest mistake
We walked from Monterosso to Vernazza, in may 2014 .beautiful view of Vernazza as you approach it!!!
Agreed. The train is only 5 euro.
why you’re that mad bro?
She meant 20 per person talking in plural previously, they went to two.
I love Cinque Terre. I used to spend my childhood nearby, close to La Spezia, so the whole Riviera Ligure holds a special spot in my heart.
I can say without doubt that cinque terre is definitely one of my favourite places in this entire world. It’s absolutely stunning and the people i met there were super nice. I’d recommend anyone who visits Italy , to definitely check these towns out !! :)
Shoulder season confined: stayed in Monterosso last week in May 2018, left just as hundreds of tourists arrived with their wheeled suitcases. Shoulder season it has a very ‘sleepy fishing village’ vibe with mainly locals and just a few ‘in the know’ tourists. Great for hiking, walking, swimming (little cold in May but endurable) and soaking in the clear blue waters ❤️😍❤️
I actually hiked from Vernazza to Monterosso Al Mare and then hung out on the beach, but next time I go back I think I'll do the boat ride to get a different perspective of the coast, but the hike was amazing and you get some amazing views as well. And I agree, I went during the summer and it was blazing hot and packed, but still worth it IMO too. Thanks for another great video!
Your videos have always been an inspiration to me.
What an amazing video full of information! Loved it!
Lexie, you’re amazing! I learn so much from your content. Need to visit Italy 🇮🇹
lexie your content has genuinely inspired me so much! in a few days i’m going to portugal and thanks to you i have a whole new perspective of what travel means so thank you
You will love Portugal 😊 the food is amazing! Where are you going exactly? Lisbon?
Great one! I did enjoy your speech here the most so far, feels like this location has an exceptional place in your heart. :-) thank you for sharing all of the exciting stuff Lexie. xo
I have been to Italy and can't wait to go back! Great video!
I love your Videos!!! Great Tips all the time.
Finally she is back ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great vido wonderful Lexie!!! 💖
You can also buy a cinque terre card for the trains. It can save some money if you’re planning to hop around a lot :)
Monterroso October 2021 was niceeeee, so few people!
If you choose the right timing it’s super good! I went in the lower season and got to swim in cold as water ahahah but still was super warm and enjoyable. 40! Is pretty pricey! Definitely good to do the hikes but dress appropriately, it’s not easy! I suggest to stay in La Spezia and just get the train ober way cheaper
Super informative video! Definitely think I’d be more likely to come in September
Excited to watch this! My Italian teacher suggested I visit.
🤩 1st time seeing one of your videos , well done u . .
I was just in CT on May 31-June 2!! Loved it. Want to go back!
I did Monterosso and Vernazza as well. Train is cheaper as another option.
La Bottega del Frito was our favorite spot to eat. Luca the owner was so Friendly and the seafood was to die for.
I really want to visit Cinque Terre, in 2018 as a spur of the moment replacement day trip visiting Rome, my travel buddy and I visited Sorrento - we both said when we got married (to others) in Sorrento was a must-have on our honeymoons - we've since grown apart as friends, but Sorrento will always be a must-go whenever I return to Italy, and maybe it's time to try out Cinque Terre too!
The Cinque Terre is one of the places in Italy I really want to travel to. I have heard so many great things about it, and I'm glad that it is worth all the hype! Thanks for all the tips! I agree that shoulder season would be best - nice weather and not as much crowds. Hopefully too many people don't catch on though, lol!
I think if more people were to remember that anytime any of us travel somewhere, we are all tourists, no matter what label anyone chooses to give themselves or how any of us choose to spend the time ….& that everyone has as much right to be there as the next person. If we all made the most of enjoying the experience with the people around us, it would be a lot less stressful. Nobody can go to somewhere popular and expect to have it to themselves.
We should all be more prepared to embrace the company & maybe even make some friends. ( as an introvert, this is something I am working on )
I went in October and it was perfect weather, not too hot or too cold, and there weren't many crowds. I could even swim in the sea so I would definitely recommend travelling in this month.
great info!
Beautiful video😍😉
I've always wanted to go. Hopefully soon.
Lexie is here 😉 carry on xploring us..
Awesome & Thanks :)
Italia Amore.. 🤵🇮🇹🛵🏖😎
Can’t wait to see more… need to do a Vespa ride also… 😃 😃😃
Grazie Mille…
I’m from Liguria and there are many beautiful fishing coloured villages along the cost like Camogli, Sestri Levante, the capital Genoa, Noli, Varazze. There’s not just Cinque Terre even if all goes there.
Also Porto Venere and Tellaro. They all cost much much less to arrive because the train price is the normale price not a Tourist one.
Thanks Lexie. If all goes well, I will be there with my partner in mid-September. Already booked a guesthouse in Monterosso so hopefully won't be sleeping on the street.
Lexie come a little bit south to central Tuscany, in a small gorgeous town whose name is San Gimignano, I’ll be glad to show you around! 😘
Beautiful place 🙂
Wow! Amazing👍😍
Beautiful

After a month in Italy, Cinque Terre was my favourite. I wouldn't take a 40€ ferry ahaha the train is like 5€. I think the best places are when you go on top of the mountains when hiking. Hiking is the real gem to me. Didn't care at all abt the cities. It's also lonely at the top, no tourists! Or maybe that was because it was mid-May.
Although the boat ride is nice, you can also take the Cinque Terre Express that goes from Monterosso up until Riomaggiore. You can take it paying through Omio or at the train station (5eur one way). For The boats there's also a whole day boat for 32eur (reduced for kids).
It can get super busy in monterosso but there's also some free beaches. During the morning is great, and for cocktails at the beach you can get a whole bucket for 15eur. Of course the prices are inflated because of tourists.
If you want to be more aventurous trekking is great. From Levanto you can hike to Monterosso (12k hike)
Only €40 !!! train is a bargain :-) And the shoulder season is better not only because less crowds, but because it really get's too hot in the summer. I would stay at the towns at either end of 5T and get a train in and out each day. I had to do that as we were on a road trip of Italy and it was the only option to have secure car parking.
it's ok to say it as many times you like Lexie Limitless it's your channel no one else beside I like it
I went in the begging of November and it was perfect weather for hiking and basically there were almost no tourists. If you want to hike there is the permit for hiking that also contains unlimited train rides between the villages plus free wifi in the train stations plus free access to the bathrooms.
Hello Oana- I would love to go in November and planned to go this November. Were any of the restaurants open? Thanks
The transportation boats are a lot cheaper and the ticket can be used all day if you get a day pass, but yes, you will have more crowds. 20 dollars from one town to the next is a little steep
That's only now after covid. Last time I went it was extremely packed. In April.
when the weather is rainy is a problem over there ... a lot of water on the streets ...
First here! Lexie posted let’s gooo
Hi guys! Hope you are doing absolutely fantastic... Whats the closest airport to that place?
Lexi please talked about hotels. Where do you stay?
Hey Lexie, Have you already been to the Madeira islands of Portugal ?
Hi Lexie what travel insurance do you recommend?
please make a video about the madeira hype
I want to travel the world with you ❤❤❤
You are the best
It’s cool area and end up in Monaco
40 dollars!! no way that probably will cover the cost of Gas for the boat. I think the guy was just been nice.
Lexie how were you able to rent the boat?
U biggest love
I'm going in June. Hope it won't be too manic!
Worth it. Not only Rome. I didn't know that there are many place over there.
She is a tourist, so coming here is not an issue at any time. The key is finding a true local guide who can take you around & teach you about Cinque Terre. The history of this place will amaze you. Do Not Take a day trip here. You are being ripped off by coming from Firenze for the day. The train ride is 3 hours up & 3 hours back. plus you are one of these big tours she is talking about. Staying in one of the villages makes your stay much more desirable & the tours leave at 7 pm. There is a Cinque Terre park pass for E 18.20 that will give you Train, village bus, trail, wi-fi, & bathrooms from 4:30 am till Midnight. (1, 2, & 3 day passes available) Try looking for Trekguyd in Riomaggiore can point you in the right direction.
Love from India 🇮🇳
Hey lexie great video 😍 the only thing is the pronunciation of italian words🙈 perhaps next time you should ask to locals
I’m not sure about cinque Terre, but in a similar tourist town called Portofino, many of the windows are fake and just painted onto flat walls. It’s really hard to tell on camera but it’s extremely obvious irl
My home
👍
I really like Italy and I have the dream to travel to Rome, Milan, Mattera, etc. But places like this (Cinque Terre) also exist in my home country (Portugal), althought nobody comes bc it isn't too famous, what makes me sad
Do you mind sharing the name of the similar locations in your country? Would love to visit.
@@Omkars Hi. So glad to know.
Here are some:
- azenhas do mar
-albufeira

Well shit, me and my friends are going there late July...

40 euros is 20 dollars?
It's 42.93 us dollars.
No. Euros are valued more than U.S. dollar.

The most famous coast of Italy is by far Amalfi Coast

Making it out at a young age is quite difficult. I started a side hustle at 17, saved up and made some good investments. l'm 28,live on my own and having a good life for myself. Big ups to you and everyone out there trying
Sounds like plan, how do you put money to work?
@@kathyfrugalsen3047 Yes it sure is. I put in money in investments and get profits. That 's how I make more money without working. This does not sound new to you right ?
@@michaelcollins1220 Thanks for replying me, I've heard so many people talk about investment but none had said how to do it right.
Am hoping on you can explain more on how you make extra income from investments
@@hoshifuyo4494 There are lots of investments options such as real estate, stock market, forex, cr ypt os, passive income,
