Riomaggiore

Riomaggiore is a charming and picturesque fishing village on the Italian Riviera. It is the first village of the famed and beautiful Cinque Terre and remains one of the most popular of the five. Riomaggiore has a history as a fishing village for roughly 700 years and is vulnerable to landslides that have caused some of the town's buildings to lean. Its notable features include a central piazza, pastel buildings and a stunning coastline of waves and cliffs. The town's main street is a picturesque pastel walkway made up of buildings that are tightly packed, making it a great place to explore. Tourists can go boating to visit its adjacent villages, or take a dip at its beaches. The town is also known for its local wine and a variety of eateries specializing in seafood and local Ligurian dishes.
