Corniglia, one of the charming villages in Cinque Terre, is perched high on a cliff, offering stunning views of the Ligurian Sea. Unlike its neighboring towns, it’s not directly by the water, which gives it a unique vibe. Visitors often find themselves wandering through narrow, winding streets lined with colorful houses and quaint shops. The village is known for its beautiful terraces filled with vineyards, where locals grow grapes for their delicious white wine. A bit of a workout is involved to reach Corniglia, as there are many steps leading up from the train station, but the breathtaking scenery makes it totally worth it. Plus, the slower pace here allows travelers to soak in the beauty and charm of this hidden gem.
