As an ordinary man, from a poor south american country, travelling is not to be dreamed of in our reality. I've been delighting myself, though, with these precious programs Mr. Steves has so generously and gracefully brought to us over the years. It just struck me now I never even said a word of thanks. So here it is: Thank you, Mr. Rick Steves for sharing with us the joy of travelling and getting to know different places, peoples and cultures! Best wishes from Brazil!
+CBJAMPA HAHAH HAHAH I am Brazilian, and I love to travel, I know lots of countries! the best place in Italy is Florence and Venice... vem no youtube contar suas po brezas, sem conhecer as po brezas de lá, tem gente lá que não tem o que comer e não é pouco. isso sim é po breza,
+CBJAMPA yes world is unfair. your comment just reminded me of that. But always remember that travelling is a temporary pleasure but happiness comes from durable things, things that everyone can have. And plus, you live in southern america, which is so beautiful!
How is italy NOT a real life fairytale? Beautiful towns all around, friendly people, gorgeous language, nice weather, amazing history, AND delicious food? How much better could it possibly get?
Rick I've been watching you for years. I have a walking disability and this my way of traveling. No one can compare to your beautiful video's and your special side trips. It's wonderful to watch you on RUclips! Thank you so much!
Rick - I truly appreciate the large amount of respect you pay to the people and the places you visit. You never fail to make me understand what it's really like to be and live in all of the places you visit. Thanks for your work!
It is easy to be respectful when on top...if Steves was just another tourist without a show he would not be treated with such gusto. Believe it...his show is free advertisement for them.
Douglas Ward I do fairly travel as I can.. My comment was based on my opinion. If you want to know in depth why? Well that’s cause it resonate how I grew up. The simplicity and culture and nothing modern.. Thats what I love. I’ve gone to Mexico, Guatemala, Canada, the Philippines ( another beautiful country )... Was gonna go to Spain , France and back to Italy again this year but because of the coronavirus, I can’t but will have to do next year... I’m looking in to visiting Kyoto and Osaka this November...
Solo gli Italiani non lo capiscono... scommetto che chiunque ti risponderebbe pensando alla politica e a come è mal governata, senza accorgersi neanche del posto in cui vivono.
Great memories! I went here 9 years ago with my family, when I was 13. Even at that age I utterly loved it. We were staying in Vernazza and visited the other 4 towns. It was beautiful. Recommend Cinque Terre to anyone and everyone!
How many days do you need to do this? Can you go by car? Where do you can park if you go by car? Which is the best place to spend a night? I will apprecciate any recommendation because I will go in July.
I’m watching this on the 17th of March 2020 and it’s making me so sad. A once thriving nation full of happiness and laughter is now quiet and barren. Fight on Italy!!! RIP COVID-19 victims. ❤️ from the USA
It breaks my heart how poorly the USA has handled Covid-19. The US failed to learn the many lessons that the Italians learned from their early infection rate. I love Italy, was here 2 years ago. ❤️
@@seashelify362 And so we see the American Empire go the way of Rome. In a perverse way we are privileged to witness it, but it's a sight I could have done without.
With Covid-19 in its sixth month, and most not able to travel, it was a breath of Italian sea air to view Rick in Italy's Riviera: Cinque Terre. At 70, I hope my wife and I can walk the five cities on a future trip to coastal Italy. Thank you Rick Steves! JF Purcell, Oceanside, LI, NY
Wow, Cinque Terre is an absolute gem! The vibrant colors of the houses perched on the cliffs against the backdrop of the azure Mediterranean sea are simply breathtaking. Exploring the narrow streets and picturesque villages felt like stepping back in time. The local cuisine, with its fresh seafood and pesto dishes, is a culinary delight. I highly recommend visiting all five villages - Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore - to truly immerse yourself in the beauty of Cinque Terre. It's a true paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Can't wait to go back and experience its charm again!
Thank you so much Mr. STeves for this wonderful documentation of the beautiful landscape Cinque Terre in Italy, where I have also been a long time ago. I lived in Italy ( Umbria, also very beautiful place) for almost 10 years and back in my country Germany already a long time, I am still missing " la mia bella ITalia ", con it´s nice and friendly people and its beautiful countryside all over and of course the Italian food and way of living. I have seen almost every part of ITaly , except Sicilia and I hope I can return one day when this terrible Pandemia is over.
I think this is my favorite of Rick’s videos, and I love all I’ve seen. I’d love to hang in this part of Italy. I pray that this wonderful country bounces back from C19 very soon!!
Just got back from Italy and the CT about a month ago. I fell in love with this beautiful country and the CT at first sight with my eyes. Please enjoy everything it has to offer you when you travel there. The Italian people are extremely friendly and want you to have a good time and want you to enjoy your stay there. Be careful on the erosion boulders that protect the little towns of the CT. I slipped on those huge rocks and basically did a pin ball maneuver hitting rock after rock til my resting place was wedged between 4 rocks with my feet sticking up in the air. Didn't help that I was recovering from too much delicious vini from the night before. Thankfully, I was not hurt and some good Samaritans came to my rescue helping me. Oh, and Focaccia is just so delicious it is not even funny.. Ciao!!
Thanks for the immense love brought to my country....increase my nostalgia for the even more beautiful coast villages of Istria and Dalmatia, with no more italian kindness on those lanes....
This is by far the most complete video about the region of Cinque Terre. My husband and I will visit in a couple of months, and have spent so far hours and hours reading and watching videos to get an idea of what to expect and do while being there. Your video has provided the most useful information for our purposes so far. Thanks, Rick and please keep doing what your doing!
Beautiful video! As an Italian living in the US I love watching these videos. My husband and I are heading to Italy for two weeks tomorrow for an end of summer romantic getaway and to visit my family there. Seeing the food in this video is seriously making me hungry ... pasta, pesto and anchovies ... delicious perfection. I'm happy you enjoyed your time in my home country Rick :) These videos really are so lovely and relaxing to watch but most of all so cultural ❤️💚 🇮🇹
Bonjourno 🇮🇹 is one of my favorite especially the fashion most my clothes made in 🇮🇹 ,everything is great , thanks for sharing your great lovely video Sir Rick Steves I love ❤️ all your channel Alleluia,god bless and peace
Rick thank you so much with this part of Italy.. You has have showed us a few times before how these five small great looking towns have such a great living. Also, it is nice seeing your son, Andy come a long with you. From past shows you have let us see your family. I hope your daughter and wife will also come with you on more trips. You have taught me so much during the course of my career with United Airlines. I have gone to many cities using your information to make my trips enjoyable. Thanks..
Wow! Thank you for this. Still God Bless his family. The kids and the ex-wife. I hope Rick will have continued success. With his son , I see him maybe joining Rick do more travel shows.
Marcus LeeP agreed. rick is the best. his free audioguide app on iTunes made my trip to italy last week very educational and enjoyable. so easy to use and i didn't have to pay for the audioguides at all the tourist places like the colosseum. the roughly 50 euros i saved by the end of the 3 week trip meant we could spend more on our last dinner there! (well, more like more booze at dinner, really. but all the same).
We recently visited Vernazza. It is beautiful and very quaint town. Well worth a visit. We drove. We were on our way back to Geneve from Firenze. Don't drive! Take the train. The road to and from Vernazza is narrow, winding and very steep. And . . . takes forever. Once you get there - unless you have a gate pass - you have to park 1km away from the village. Repeat. Do not drive. Take the train.
... Thank heaven? Oh yes, when you consider tourism a "disgrace" ... I would like the hometown of my mother, was a little more frequented by tourists ... It would be a nice opportunity of jobs for many young people! Bye :)
I was at Cinque Terre there only for half a day and I was completely mesmerized by it. Thank you so much for this video, it brought back that calm, peaceful and tranquil vibe I felt when i was there. I wish I'd one day return to Cinque Terre with someone I love, perhaps watching the sunset while enjoying a cup of grappa
The Cinque Terre has been on my bucket list since 2000, finally I am in Italy. I stayed in a beautiful home in LaSpezia high above the city. I rented a scooter - Porto Vennere is wonderful and the views wonderful, relaxing and the ride to Riomaggiore is only 25 minutes Love watching these videos.
its truly a natural habitat for people of all over the world to meet and enjoy their different backgrounds, a meeting place for humanity, thank god its still there for enjoyment to all
Rick Steves, as a guy who grew up watching you on my grandma's TV to now using you videos and books for help and guidance as an adult I feel like you are the ultimate travel guide... and to be a tenth of the influence as you've been to the new generation would be an honor! This video helped us in our most recent Italy trip, and I made my first Europe Travel guide... on The CINQUE TERRE! And you were the inspiration. Thankyou for everything, and I hope that I can repay everything you've done for me via these videos and how incredible your content is. Ciao ✌
I loved cinque terra . I am a 24 year old ,108 lbs lazy skinny girl that lives in America . I’m not active & don’t eat healthy ...it was so hard for me to do this hike but I was so proud of myself when I finished ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You were too bored. Nothing is exciting and that’s why you think that you’re lazy. When you find something exciting, I am sure that you would get going and would not even look at the clock.
Dario De Stasio Sono i politici italiani attuali, che non meritano l' Italia, pensano solo ed asclusivamente ai loro interessi personali, e ad i loro affari! Schifosi! Li odio e detesto, dinidtroidi di m.....!!!
It does, but unfortunately the mafia is a constant cancer that ruins any chance the country has of flourishing. It's a real shame, as any patriotic Italian will tell you.
No non regge più la scusa,i cittadini italiani non hanno mai,mai,mai,mai reagito come si deve alle ingiustizie alla povertà e all'indigenza di milioni d'Italiani,in questi 15 anni, ricordiamo che oggi milioni d'Italiani soffrono e non sanno come mangiare domani! Qua ragazzi non esiste ancora nel 2018 uno strumento contro l'indigenza ma ne vogliamo parlare? ci rendiamo conto? Strumento che esiste in tutta Europa, ma vi ricordate la reazione che hanno avuto i francesi quando vi erano fame e carestia? Altro che tollerare, hanno iniziato a tagliare teste ad una ad una, e noi siamo quelli che purtroppo non hanno mai reagito, abbiamo sempre subito come disgraziati qualsiasi, prendete un'aereo per l'Europa state un paio di giorni in una qualsiasi capitale d'Europa poi tornate,allora capirete, vi verrà un magone perchè vi renderete conto di esser stati tenuti all'oscuro di come funziona veramente uno stato, di come si sviluppa uno stato, abbiamo tollerato situazioni che non si sarebbero dovute tollerare,ecco questi siamo noi,un popolo incapace di prendere coscienza di ciò che succede, di reagire alle ingiustizie che sono avvenute per decenni, un popolo che si è ammalato in questi ultimi 15 anni, si è ammalato,molti si sono suicidati, solo nella mia città 5 persone si sono tolte la vita, e un ragazzino che si è buttato sotto il treno, e allora? vedete per caso qualcuno che finanzia l'economia italiana che finanzia i giovani,quanto ci vuole a capire che la finanza se l'è fregata qualcuno e che non fa più il suo dovere? Non c'è più il paese è abbandonato e se ne accorgerebbe anche un cieco, l'Italia è stata esautorata della sovranità,sembra uno stato fantoccio,servile ed impotente,non hai visto che i francesi hanno sconfinato e ci hanno buttato gli immigrati nel nostro territorio? E dov'era il nostro esercito? Capisci cosa intendo per stato fantoccio?
This looks beautiful! After vacationing in Amalfi, Lake Garda and Rome I thought I may have to move on from Italy and start exploring different places but +Rick Steves Europe has just added the Cinque Terre to our must visit list!
Wow. Watching in 2022. When I was down with the CV illness and had to isolate, this channel was my favorite. Loved the so many places in this vlog❤ I feel like I, too, had traveled. 😘Thank you Rick Steves
io andavo a Cinque Terre sola una volta, ma le amavo !!!! Andavo quando non erano molti turisti (ottobre) ed era piu bello che qualunque altra citta quale ho veduto prima di Allora. non lo dimenticherò mai. io spero di Tornare di nuovo!
So lovely and the atmosphere of unrushed visitors is inticing ! Regretfully as I am disabled, the " walks" and hikes would not be for me! But I have enjoyed Rick Steve's sharing of Europe for years! Now ,probably the only way I'll ever know this part of our planet! Thank you Steve& Crew for your beautiful efforts in these videos!💜🙏
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. Mark Twain, The Innocents
Howard Koor Change is only possible for those who open their mind. And people from poor backgrounds don't get to experience the luxuries of travel, even if they become wealthy. Traveling teaches you a lot. But it's only people with open minds who truly learn. That can be said for anything in life. Also, travelling creates memories. Never travel with temporary people or people you know won't be in your life 30 years from now.
Italy and the islands great to see and buy flowers see the fishermen great pleases to see great views nice people to help with history of the la d and see.The railway up the vine land. Paths great to walk one I enjoyed in the 198”s much changed and better for visitors now worth a new tour.Ann Deakin’s family .
I live here and I appreciated the trip. It is clear that you liked it from the way you described it, and of this I can only be happy, because you made the whole world discover this little piece of paradise of ours. Thank you Rick.
I think you will even be happier when you find out that the town in the wonderful animated movie "Luca (2021)" was inspired by Cinque Terre and that's what make me really want to visit it so much (btw watch Luca 2021 it's one of the best animation movies i have watched)
Rick Steves: I will always be grateful to you for those beautiful videos of so many parts of the world that you have shared with the rest of the world.. Bless your heart...It is such a pleasure to watch them... I was in Italy several years ago but i was with one of those tours and never knew this Cinco Terra even existed in Italy.. What a joy to watch you walking all those beautiful areas of Italy and describe the food, the people, etc..
Bonjour! I am french and love practicing foreign languages. YOUR VIDEOS ARE GREAT AND BRING ME AN APPORTUNITY TO LEARN SOMETHING AND KEEP BRUSHING UP MY ENGLISH AS WELL. Your explanations are clear all the more so as YOU have a nice musical accent which sounds very clear to à Frenchy's ears! Thanks à lot!
was there last week for the second time (first time was in 2004, stayed in vernazza). still as beautiful as ever, esp. if you do the hike and get the amazing views. getting out on the super clean and warm water and looking back at all the villages is stunning too (monterosso has the best beach to swim out from or to rent a paddle boat from). extremely crowded in july though and quite noisy at night in the party village of riomaggiore where we stayed. stay in one of the other towns if you want some quiet at night. monterosso probably has the nicest places to stay and more stuff around if you like to stroll at night or have late night drinks, but away from the backpacker crowd. some of the locals aren't too enthused with the throngs of tourists either, esp. since i was last there (i saw some pretty horrific tourist behaviour this time, so am not exactly surprised!). you will get some very nice and hospitable service and you will get some horrible service. the nicer you are, the nicer they are. def worth a visit at least once!
My family and I are doing a little tour of Europe this summer, traveling to a new city every 2 or 3 days. On the train/bus/airplane there, I always pull up the next Rick Steves video to take a peek into what we are going to be seeing! Rick's insight has made every visit 10x more enjoyable, and I find myself dropping little tidbits of knowledge when we pass familiar sights. We take on CT tomorrow. Thanks, Rick, for bringing us along on your travels!
I am big fan, Mr. Steves. Your videos are the perfect example of simplicity and knowledge and use of such rich English, that I can't have enough of. Thank You so much for this splendid web series of yours!
I was here in 2016 and loved it thanks to covid cant get back there from New Zealand anytime soon so thanks Rick for this awesome reminder of how amazing Italy is 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I will visit Cinque Terre one beautiful day. I didn't know of this place, so thank you, Rick Steves, for sharing such a refreshing beauty and blessing!
You're great Rick. And Cinque Terre and whole Liguria region is one the most beautiful places of Italy. I recently visited these places with my wife and we were so happy, we had a lot of fun
Was there in Oct 2014. This brought back many fond memories and is a very accurate representation of the Cinque Terre. Vernazza is my favourite; that's where we stayed.
DELICIOUS CULTURE. PHENOMINAL BEAUTY. OH HOW I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE ON THE CINQUE TERRE PORT.RICKY STEVES "IS"THEE MOST AMAZING SPEAKER!!! HIS POETIC WORD WEAVING IS ICONIC.!!! LOVE HIM.RICKY, EVER CONSIDERED WRITING SONGS/POETRY? YOU ARE MASTERFUL.DEB
God has given you a wonderful gift of being able to showcase the best of people and the world in a warm, creative & heart felt way. Thank you ever so much for your presentations.
Guys, there is a small train that moves through 5 villages one after another (2-5 min between stops). If you are visiting, go to the last village first - it's the best one (in my opinion), most tourists never make it there, so you'll be at peace there in the first half of the day. There is also a huge man statue carved from the rock on the mountain. I couldn't stop looking at it for the whole 2 h our group was there.
As an ordinary man, from a poor south american country, travelling is not to be dreamed of in our reality. I've been delighting myself, though, with these precious programs Mr. Steves has so generously and gracefully brought to us over the years. It just struck me now I never even said a word of thanks.

Just a tad self-conscious, aren't we?
+CBJAMPA yes world is unfair. your comment just reminded me of that. But always remember that travelling is a temporary pleasure but happiness comes from durable things, things that everyone can have. And plus, you live in southern america, which is so beautiful!

How is italy NOT a real life fairytale? Beautiful towns all around, friendly people, gorgeous language, nice weather, amazing history, AND delicious food? How much better could it possibly get?

And that's why it's one of the world's top tourist destinations.
A most amazing place! I got to see Rome in 1980...while stationed in Nuremberg, Germany. Best fun ever!!!
Italy is the most beautiful place in the world! It is a real gem !

Thanks Rick, this is now one of my top "Cinque" bucket list destinations. Absolutely gorgeous!
I watched this video before I went to Cinque Terre for a week, I'm watching it again a few months later to see how much of this I've done myself :)
Beautiful...can't wait.....I'll be in Manarola for 5 days next year as part of my 40 day trip around Italy by train
+Gordon Smith ... Don't forget to visit Mantova! ;)
+MrTinner66 Mantova, one of Europe's oldest cities. Largely ignored by the tourism industry (thank heavens!!!).
... Thank heaven? Oh yes, when you consider tourism a "disgrace" ... I would like the hometown of my mother, was a little more frequented by tourists ... It would be a nice opportunity of jobs for many young people! Bye :)
+MrTinner66 Looking at rome, I dont think residents are happy about the chaos brought by the tourists.
heaven isnt too far away
Went on a Rick Steve's 21 day tour of Western Europe! And one of my favorite places was Cinque Terre. I miss it so much! 🥺😫
I was at Cinque Terre there only for half a day and I was completely mesmerized by it. Thank you so much for this video, it brought back that calm, peaceful and tranquil vibe I felt when i was there.
I wish I'd one day return to Cinque Terre with someone I love, perhaps watching the sunset while enjoying a cup of grappa
Rick you have the coolest job ever!
true
I envy him , what does it take to have such a great job? i am sick of my Boss's shouts and yells hahaha
O
RIKKI LAKE SHOW WAS POPULAR IN THE 90'S :)
Jerry Jerry :)
Rick is such a goof. He cracks me up.
Blessings for Italy 🙌 blessings for Rick Steve!
What a cool place to live. They must really enjoy the simple life.
Come to Greece you will love more than Italy,we have better prices and better food
Sorry Greece is nice but Italy is Italy. Greece is not as nice as Italy.
Why so many Germans in Italy especially Roma in summer??jerkoff
Yes all of europe is beautiful. All people should visit if they could.
+David Villa you aren't really comparing Italy to Albania are you?Lol
Having been there, you can't fully grasp how awesome it is until you actually see it for yourself.
My bucket list keeps getting longer and longer
nice view.world in so big and many unbelievable view

+Kimberly H When I seen you , I added one more thing to my bucket list.
+M Sixty HAAHAHAH
you need a barrel not a bucket !!!
FInally booked my trip with my mom. This video has provided so much insight. We cannot wait!!!!!!!
ITALIA THE BEST! FROM BRASIL! I always love to visit Italy, especially Naples!
Hi
The Cinque Terre has been on my bucket list since 2000, finally I am in Italy. I stayed in a beautiful home in LaSpezia high above the city. I rented a scooter - Porto Vennere is wonderful and the views wonderful, relaxing and the ride to Riomaggiore is only 25 minutes
Love watching these videos.
Hello Cheyenne
Italy is to me is the most beautiful/nicest country in the world. No disrespect to Germany Swisszerland and so on.
+4 star hero how many countries have you traveled to? Just wondering what the comparison countries would be:) Cheers!
***** because I think it was so.
Ok all of Europe is beautiful. I being of Italian ethnicity have to say Italy.
Thanks a lot ^^
+νικος παπαδοπουλος
Yep. Greeks eat the best in Europe.
Rick's delightfully unpretentious demeanor makes his programmes a joy to watch. I don't remember seeing this on the old Travel Channel.
I don't know how, but I am going to retire to one of those little town. It's going to happen
of course you know how.. if you really want that, it will happen :)
these parts are becoming pretty touristy.

I pray that the Covid 19 never reaches the cinque terre region and these wonderful families and communities
Too soon
It has and is as badly affected as the rest of Italy. Google it

Rick Steves, as a guy who grew up watching you on my grandma's TV to now using you videos and books for help and guidance as an adult I feel like you are the ultimate travel guide... and to be a tenth of the influence as you've been to the new generation would be an honor! This video helped us in our most recent Italy trip, and I made my first Europe Travel guide... on The CINQUE TERRE! And you were the inspiration. Thankyou for everything, and I hope that I can repay everything you've done for me via these videos and how incredible your content is. Ciao ✌
I loved cinque terra .
I am a 24 year old ,108 lbs lazy skinny girl that lives in America .
I’m not active & don’t eat healthy ...it was so hard for me to do this hike but I was so proud of myself when I finished ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You were too bored. Nothing is exciting and that’s why you think that you’re lazy. When you find something exciting, I am sure that you would get going and would not even look at the clock.
Thank you, Rick Steves for sharing with us these beautiful travel episodes.
italy has a immense potential
Dario De Stasio Sono i politici italiani attuali, che non meritano l' Italia, pensano solo ed asclusivamente ai loro interessi personali, e ad i loro affari! Schifosi! Li odio e detesto, dinidtroidi di m.....!!!
Dario De Stasio d hhhhh
Ravioli
It does, but unfortunately the mafia is a constant cancer that ruins any chance the country has of flourishing. It's a real shame, as any patriotic Italian will tell you.
No non regge più la scusa,i cittadini italiani non hanno mai,mai,mai,mai reagito come si deve alle ingiustizie alla povertà e all'indigenza di milioni d'Italiani,in questi 15 anni, ricordiamo che oggi milioni d'Italiani soffrono e non sanno come mangiare domani! Qua ragazzi non esiste ancora nel 2018 uno strumento contro l'indigenza ma ne vogliamo parlare? ci rendiamo conto? Strumento che esiste in tutta Europa, ma vi ricordate la reazione che hanno avuto i francesi quando vi erano fame e carestia? Altro che tollerare, hanno iniziato a tagliare teste ad una ad una, e noi siamo quelli che purtroppo non hanno mai reagito, abbiamo sempre subito come disgraziati qualsiasi, prendete un'aereo per l'Europa state un paio di giorni in una qualsiasi capitale d'Europa poi tornate,allora capirete, vi verrà un magone perchè vi renderete conto di esser stati tenuti all'oscuro di come funziona veramente uno stato, di come si sviluppa uno stato, abbiamo tollerato situazioni che non si sarebbero dovute tollerare,ecco questi siamo noi,un popolo incapace di prendere coscienza di ciò che succede, di reagire alle ingiustizie che sono avvenute per decenni, un popolo che si è ammalato in questi ultimi 15 anni, si è ammalato,molti si sono suicidati, solo nella mia città 5 persone si sono tolte la vita, e un ragazzino che si è buttato sotto il treno, e allora? vedete per caso qualcuno che finanzia l'economia italiana che finanzia i giovani,quanto ci vuole a capire che la finanza se l'è fregata qualcuno e che non fa più il suo dovere? Non c'è più il paese è abbandonato e se ne accorgerebbe anche un cieco, l'Italia è stata esautorata della sovranità,sembra uno stato fantoccio,servile ed impotente,non hai visto che i francesi hanno sconfinato e ci hanno buttato gli immigrati nel nostro territorio? E dov'era il nostro esercito? Capisci cosa intendo per stato fantoccio?
We loved Cinque Terre. Visited in May 2023. We're ready to return.
This looks beautiful! After vacationing in Amalfi, Lake Garda and Rome I thought I may have to move on from Italy and start exploring different places but +Rick Steves Europe has just added the Cinque Terre to our must visit list!
Wow. Watching in 2022. When I was down with the CV illness and had to isolate, this channel was my favorite. Loved the so many places in this vlog❤ I feel like I, too, had traveled. 😘Thank you Rick Steves
I'm just in love with Italy 😍😍
Thank you Rick Steves. Your presentation of Italy has always given me a desire to travel to there. Perhaps Lord willing it will be.
io andavo a Cinque Terre sola una volta, ma le amavo !!!! Andavo quando non erano molti turisti (ottobre) ed era piu bello che qualunque altra citta quale ho veduto prima di Allora. non lo dimenticherò mai. io spero di Tornare di nuovo!
So lovely and the atmosphere of unrushed visitors is inticing ! Regretfully as I am disabled, the " walks" and hikes would not be for me! But I have enjoyed Rick Steve's sharing of Europe for years! Now ,probably the only way I'll ever know this part of our planet! Thank you Steve& Crew for your beautiful efforts in these videos!💜🙏
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
Mark Twain, The Innocents
Samuel Clemens was a pretty smart dude.
Howard Koor Change is only possible for those who open their mind. And people from poor backgrounds don't get to experience the luxuries of travel, even if they become wealthy. Traveling teaches you a lot. But it's only people with open minds who truly learn. That can be said for anything in life. Also, travelling creates memories. Never travel with temporary people or people you know won't be in your life 30 years from now.
@@Ashnesss why so?
Aisha, You explained eloquently .I was brought up in the streets of Azimpur Dhaka Bangladesh and today I trot the globe six months a year !@@Ashnesss
Italy and the islands great to see and buy flowers see the fishermen great pleases to see great views nice people to help with history of the la d and see.The railway up the vine land. Paths great to walk one I enjoyed in the 198”s much changed and better for visitors now worth a new tour.Ann Deakin’s family .
Come see us in Langhe Ann! We just launched our new channel! 🍷
I live here and I appreciated the trip.
It is clear that you liked it from the way you described it, and of this I can only be happy, because you made the whole world discover this little piece of paradise of ours.
Thank you Rick.
I think you will even be happier when you find out that the town in the wonderful animated movie "Luca (2021)" was inspired by Cinque Terre and that's what make me really want to visit it so much
(btw watch Luca 2021 it's one of the best animation movies i have watched)
Can you hike all 5 cities and take the train back ?
Rick Steves: I will always be grateful to you for those beautiful videos of so many parts of the world that you have shared with the rest of the world.. Bless your heart...It is such a pleasure to watch them... I was in Italy several years ago but i was with one of those tours and never knew this Cinco Terra even existed in Italy.. What a joy to watch you walking all those beautiful areas of Italy and describe the food, the people, etc..
I love my country, I wish everyone to come visit one day or another!
Hi
Bonjour! I am french and love practicing foreign languages. YOUR VIDEOS ARE GREAT AND BRING ME AN APPORTUNITY TO LEARN SOMETHING AND KEEP BRUSHING UP MY ENGLISH AS WELL. Your explanations are clear all the more so as YOU have a nice musical accent which sounds very clear to à Frenchy's ears!
Thanks à lot!
was there last week for the second time (first time was in 2004, stayed in vernazza). still as beautiful as ever, esp. if you do the hike and get the amazing views. getting out on the super clean and warm water and looking back at all the villages is stunning too (monterosso has the best beach to swim out from or to rent a paddle boat from). extremely crowded in july though and quite noisy at night in the party village of riomaggiore where we stayed. stay in one of the other towns if you want some quiet at night. monterosso probably has the nicest places to stay and more stuff around if you like to stroll at night or have late night drinks, but away from the backpacker crowd. some of the locals aren't too enthused with the throngs of tourists either, esp. since i was last there (i saw some pretty horrific tourist behaviour this time, so am not exactly surprised!). you will get some very nice and hospitable service and you will get some horrible service. the nicer you are, the nicer they are. def worth a visit at least once!
I wanna travel with Rick Steves! This looks like a great place to start!
Thank you. Lord Jesus, for eyes to see all this beauty! So enjoyable!
Beautifully said, 😊
@@ciarandevaney385 So kind of you to say that!😊
My family and I are doing a little tour of Europe this summer, traveling to a new city every 2 or 3 days. On the train/bus/airplane there, I always pull up the next Rick Steves video to take a peek into what we are going to be seeing! Rick's insight has made every visit 10x more enjoyable, and I find myself dropping little tidbits of knowledge when we pass familiar sights. We take on CT tomorrow. Thanks, Rick, for bringing us along on your travels!
It's me and my boyfriend at 8:33 !! Awesome
Wow, thats lovely!
Manon What are you doing with those cantuccini??!?? 🤢😂
it felt forced, it was weird... lol
what mouth is that? i want to go to cinqueterre in march next year and i hope the weather will be fine.
Don't know if your still together, ut you are both adorable C:
I am big fan, Mr. Steves. Your videos are the perfect example of simplicity and knowledge and use of such rich English, that I can't have enough of. Thank You so much for this splendid web series of yours!
I was here in 2016 and loved it thanks to covid cant get back there from New Zealand anytime soon so thanks Rick for this awesome reminder of how amazing Italy is 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Also from NZ. We were there exactly 3 years ago staying in an apartment in the hills above the new town of Monterosso. Wonderful memories.
I will visit Cinque Terre one beautiful day. I didn't know of this place, so thank you, Rick Steves, for sharing such a refreshing beauty and blessing!
What great memories from great trips to Italy. Thank you for bringing
this to the world to enjoy!
Hi pretty how are you doing today? You
You're great Rick.
And Cinque Terre and whole Liguria region is one the most beautiful places of Italy.
I recently visited these places with my wife and we were so happy, we had a lot of fun
What a lucky guy. I wish. To travel at all these beautiful places 😊
Was there in Oct 2014. This brought back many fond memories and is a very accurate representation of the Cinque Terre. Vernazza is my favourite; that's where we stayed.
Excellent,i have watched it more than 10 times!
Absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for the video... When I make it to Italy some day this is where I want to go!!
here the villages are so beautiful & people are friendly to see and i want to visit in future days thanks to ricky....... and good cam work dudes:)
Can't get enough. This is so relaxing. Watching it in you tube is the next best thing. Thanks for this wonderful video.
DELICIOUS CULTURE.
PHENOMINAL BEAUTY.

It is perfect place and perfect video. Thanks! Going there in April, just cannot wait!
Excellent and beautiful Italy. Thanks for showing us this heaven on earth...
Very Beautiful compliments 😀
I like watching all of Rick Steves' YT clips, especially when food samplings become a master of the screen (saliva-rush urgency). Wow!
Guys, there is a small train that moves through 5 villages one after another (2-5 min between stops). If you are visiting, go to the last village first - it's the best one (in my opinion), most tourists never make it there, so you'll be at peace there in the first half of the day. There is also a huge man statue carved from the rock on the mountain.
I couldn't stop looking at it for the whole 2 h our group was there.
So is the last village Riomaggiore or Monterrosso Al Mare? Which one?
