Cinque Terre

Cinque Terre (also known as "Five Towns") is absolutely gorgeous, which is why companies sell so many postcards. This region of Italy's northwest embodies the kind of beauty that makes visitors gasp when they first see it. It's impossible not to be taken aback by the beauty of the place. The carefree approach of the locals makes you want to do nothing except eat pasta (or pizza) while gazing out at the Ligurian Sea. Walking along cliff-top trails or meandering through picturesque villages on crooked and narrow alleyways are among the most popular activities in Cinque Terre.
