Corniglia is a charming village located in the Cinque Terre region of Italy, perched on a cliff overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The village is known for its colorful houses, narrow streets, and stunning views of the coastline. The currency used in Italy is the Euro. Corniglia offers a peaceful and authentic Italian experience, away from the crowds of the larger Cinque Terre towns.
The best time to visit Corniglia is during the spring and fall months when the weather is mild and the crowds are smaller. Summer can be very hot and crowded, while winter can be rainy and some attractions may be closed. The shoulder seasons offer pleasant weather for exploring the village and hiking the surrounding trails.
Corniglia is a car-free village, so the best way to get around is on foot. The village is small and easily walkable, with charming alleyways and staircases to explore. There are also local buses that connect Corniglia to the other Cinque Terre towns, as well as a train station nearby for longer journeys.
Be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes as the village has many stairs and uneven paths. Try the local specialty, 'farinata', a delicious chickpea pancake sold at street vendors. Don't forget to bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated while exploring. Be respectful of the local customs and traditions, such as dressing modestly when visiting churches. Take the time to watch the sunset over the sea for a magical experience.
