"This is the beautiful village in the background of our profile picture!
This is an area of Italy so beautiful that UNESCO has made it a World Heritage Site.
Manarola is smaller than Riomaggiore and has a different vibe. There is less going on here at night, which means Manarola is a good place to stay if you want more relaxing evenings. The small streets and sea views make it perfect especially for couple looking for a romantic place to stay and for photographer. Your camera roll will loveeeee for you to visit here!"

"Manarola is built on a high rock 70 metres above sea level and is one of the most charming and romantic of the Cinque Terre villages. Here I recommend the scenic hike Manarola - Volastra - Corniglia. The first part of the hiking trail has a very steep climb (1200 steps) which you can skip taking the bus (€2) from Manarola to Volastra. Normally there is a bus every hour. The path gives you wonderful views of the Mediterranean and the Cinque Terre villages. This path is free and you do not need any hiking pass."

"Super cute and quite large, with lots of scenic viewpoints. Perched on a high rock 70 meters above sea level, Manarola is one of the most charming and romantic villages in Cinque Terre. The tiny harbor, colorful houses, and cozy piazza give it a unique charm."
