This time, our campervan took us to Italy, to the stunning Ligurian coast. Our destination was the iconic towns of Cinque Terre. Was it easy? Did we manage to see all the towns and hike the scenic trails in a single day? And with a dog in tow?

In this video, we’ll take you step-by-step through our journey across Cinque Terre. We’ll cover our visits to every town—Riomaggiore, Manarola, Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, and Corniglia—highlighting the most interesting spots and the best viewpoints where those famous Instagram shots are taken. We’ll also show you the hiking trails connecting the towns, collectively known as the Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Trail), including the *Via dell’Amore*—considered the most spectacular section of the route. Plus, we’ll share facts and interesting trivia about the towns.

But there’s more than just a travelogue. We’ll also provide practical information to help you plan your own trip to the area. We’ll explain how to get to Cinque Terre and the best ways to travel between the towns, along with tips on purchasing transport tickets. We will also share information on the rules to follow when using the local hiking trails.

There will also be some tips on visiting with a dog, as we explored these places with our Border Collie, Koda. We hope this serves as a guide so that, when traveling with your dog, you’ll know what is permitted and what might present a challenge.

Our video isn't meant to be a travel diary; it’s a guide designed to help you plan your trip step by step. Cinque Terre might seem like a logistical challenge, but with the right preparation, it’s easy to manage.

Once you’ve watched the video, grab your calendar and start planning. And go! If not this year, then maybe next. It is truly worth it!
