An Essential Guide to Riomaggiore | The Perfect Cinque Terre Base alongdustyroads.com

Pastel hued buildings tumbling from impossible heights, rugged vineyards, aquamarine waters and warm rocks shaped perfectly to hug the sun-weary bodies by the shore; Riomaggiore is a true Italian dream.

It’s also one of two bases we chose for our week long visit to the Cinque Terre, and it proved an ideal location, offering us great accommodation options, a handful of fantastic places to eat, and probably our favourite sunset spot in the entire region. We also felt that Riomaggiore also had a slightly more youthful energy to it, perfectly suited for travellers or couples looking for a little more atmosphere in the evening.

In this guide we’ve covered the very best things to do in Riomaggiore, as well as our choices for where to eat and drink, shared a selection of accommodation recommendations and a handful of personally curated tips so that you can make the very most of your time in one of the Cinque Terre’s most popular spots – whether you choose to stay for a week or only visit for the day.

This is our guide to Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre.
