Cinque Terre is another one of those beautiful Pinterest/Instagram/Facebook destinations. It's an area of 5 fishing villages along the coast of the Italian Riviera. It's also blowing up with tourists.. There are many ways to hike Cinque Terre, all varying in degree of difficulty. You can hike all 5 villages, you can take the train, or some combination of the two. We started in Riomaggiore and made our way to our least favorite and most touristy resort town, Monterosso al Mare.
