Let's explore the lovely Riomaggiore, nestled between the mountains and the sea of the Italian Riviera 🇮🇹. This walking tour will allow you to discover one of the worldwide famous Cinque Terre: colored houses on cliffs jutting into the sea, romantic pathways, and much more.
When people think about the typical Italian seaside village, the Cinque Terre always come to mind. Here is Riomaggiore, one of the "Five Lands" located in the Italian Riviera, north-west of Italy. Linked to its "sister" Manarola by the worldwide famous Via dell'Amore (which you'll get a sneak peek of in the video!), this picture-postcard village enchants everybody with its pastel-colored tower houses and its gorgeous views.
This walking tour will explore all the cute, narrow alleys and staircases that lead us from the beach and the cute marina up to the highest part of the town, with an imposing castle and more unforgettable views.
We'll get an exclusive walk on an unusually-empty Via dell'Amore, then we'll try a much more challenging pathway... and, along the way, there will be time to know more about Riomaggiore's history, food, and curious facts.
