Golden hour in the Cinque Terre: The best scenic spots for sunset

The Cinque Terre offer dreamy sunsets that paint the sky and the sea in spectacular colors.

Here are our tips for discovering the best spots to admire this magic:

📍 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘇𝘇𝗮: Head to the beginning of the Blue Trail for a charming view of the colorful houses and the illuminated cliffs.

📍 𝗥𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗲: Make your way to the marina to admire the village bathed in the last rays of sunlight and the sea turning orange. For a broader perspective, climb up to the Riomaggiore Castle: to the right, you’ll see the village, and to the left, the sun disappearing on the horizon.

📍 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗼: Trekking enthusiasts can reach Punta Mesco or the Termine area for a breathtaking view of the sea and nearby villages. If you’d rather stay in the village, the panoramic spot near the statue of Saint Francis offers just as spectacular a view.
