The Cinque Terre is one of the biggest highlights of any visit to Italy. We adjusted our travel to make sure we had a good weather window to visit. Interestingly at the end of the first day we thought we liked the Amalfi, but by the end of the second day visiting we came to the conclusion that the Cinque Terre was our favorite of the two, but not by much. We also ended our trip in Liguria at the town of Sanremo. Sanremo was one of the unexpected finds we stumble on during these trips. It is a small coastal town but it hooked us and we ended up staying there an extra two days. It may also have been because we were reluctant to leave Italy. We also visited Monaco from Sanremo so it is included here.
