Legend has it that the Italians have mastered this art. No, we are not lazy, like many tourists describe us, We are really able to enjoy life without rushing and doing absolutely nothing ;).

What to do and see in Cinque Terre
1 | The Azzurro Trail Hike
The pedestrian path that connects the five villages is one of the most popular things to do with a total length of 12 km / 7.5 miles.
This is the perfect option for nature lovers and those who like to stay active on vacation As it crosses lush vegetation with a variable slope, although walking is generally considered to be low average difficulty The only requirement being a little endurance.
This documentary that I found online is simply beautiful and if you have 15 minutes to spend it, it will bring you directly to the Cinque Magique Terre, so it’s worth looking at it (devil it made me nostalgic in no time!)

Before visiting the Cinque Terre Sentiero Azzurro.
Potential tourists should keep in mind that some Parts of the path are closed Due to subsequent floods and shifts in 2011, including a section of the popular “The Way of the Lover” (also known as the path of love or lover) from Riomaggiore to Manarola.
Read one of the latest updates here (The article is in Italian but you should have the possibility of translating it via Google). In a word, He says that the whole path of the lover (or the path of the lover) will not be reopened before 2021. And in mind, that I am Italian and that I know, unfortunately too well, how our effectiveness in the treatment of this type of situation is (unfortunately for you, not so good).
