Vernazza

Cinque Terre: Unfortunately overcrowded. No insider tip anymore! I recommend to avoid other hikes in the region where you are not followed at every turn ;-)

Vernazza (Latin: Vulnetia) is a town and comune located in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northwestern Italy. It is one of the five towns that make up the Cinque Terre region. Vernazza is the fourth town heading north, has no car traffic, and remains one of the truest "fishing villages" on the Italian Riviera.

Vernazza's name is derived from the Latin adjective verna meaning "native" and the aptly named indigenous wine, vernaccia ("local" or "ours"), helped give birth to the village's moniker.

Totally overcrowded. Full of tourists, but still, worth to go there. Probably the best time to visit is winter.

Cinque Terre - Great views - Great scenery - Panorama!

Quite touristic but still a nice place. Don't forget to take your swimm suit with you and take the tunnel from the main street to the "beach" and have a refreshing bath after the hiking tour.

Great is the view from the top of the city.

Unfortunately always very busy, unfortunately, the trails. Avoid high season.

We were hiking in September, never again, so crowded the trails with tourist we have never experienced, it was no fun anymore. Old village, etc. Great!

beautiful Panoramaweg, worth it

Great place with a picturesque harbor and wonderful for swimming.

Fabulous view from above of the village, which is now literally flooded with Asians during the season

The most beautiful village of the 5 terre. Go visit it in the Autumn. Its a better period. And now (2020) is a good time to visit it.
