The Most Photogenic Spots on a Cinque Terre Hike
If you’re heading out of Florence on a day trip for a Cinque Terre hike,
make sure you make the most of every photographic opportunity.
Here are some of the best.
(firmenpresse) - Is there anywhere on the planet more photogenic than Italy? Ardent Italophiles would argue
that there isn’t and a visit to the stunning region of the Cinque Terre offers compelling proof.
For anyone who embarks on a Cinque Terre hike to visit the five villages linked by the
coastal trail, it’s a case of once seen, never forgotten.
But of course memories do fade, so in this day and age of smartphones and high-tech digital
cameras there’s no excuse for not going home from a Cinque Terre hike with some
absolutely fantastic images - whether it’s to take home a slice of Italy for friends and relatives
who aren’t so fortunate, or simply to gain some bragging rights on Instagram. This very
accessible area can be reached on a day trip from Florence, so it’s time to get snapping!
Top Spots to Snap a Photo on your Cinque Terre Hike
In truth it would be very difficult to take a bad photo in this spectacular part of the world, but
there are some spots that are truly outstanding. Here are a few to start with, but you’ll no
doubt find many of your own along the way.
Via Dell’ Amore
Yes, it might be the most clichéd stretch along the trail to take a photo, but there`s a very
good reason for that. This one kilometre section between Riomaggiore and Manarola is a
very easy walk, so there are plenty of opportunities to take pictures of the absolutely jaw-
dropping views beyond the rugged cliffs and out to the horizon. If you’re travelling with a
significant other, there’s no more romantic spot than “Lover’s Lane” to get busy with your
camera.
Prato del Monte
While it takes a little bit of effort to get there, the views from Prato del Monte, above
Corniglia, make it absolutely worth it for the photo. You’ll have to trudge uphill on a very
steep pathway, but there’s ample space to rest and, even if you don’t make it to the top you’ll
take in vistas that on a good day reach all the way to the coast of France.
A Portrait of Vernazza
As a backdrop to a selfie or a star in its own right, the fourth village along the trail, Vernazza
is undeniably photogenic. With its gently curving natural harbour and array of elegant
houses, the contrast of sea, sky and richly coloured buildings makes for an idyllic portrait
and an evocative memory of a Cinque Terre hike.
A Deposed Giant at Monterosso
Despite unfortunate damage caused during WWII and the ocean, the statue of Neptune,
God of the Seas (Statua del Gigante) that sits close to the Fegina beach in Monterosso, is
still a powerful sight – and a wonderful and historic sculpture to capture in an image. The 14-
metre statue, made by Italian sculptor Arrigo Minerbi in 1910, was originally commissioned
to decorate the grand Villa Pastine, but today the mighty God of the Seas clings to a rocky
cliff face – alas, without his arms.
The sites above are just a small taste of what awaits on a photographic exploration of this
breath-taking and much-loved part of Italy. Along the famous trail, and in any of the five
villages, you’ll find countless other opportunities to make and capture your own favourites.
