Genoa seems like a pretty city but I heard about Cinque De Terre from a Rick Steve's video.
So I booked a Princess excursion for an all day excursion that would visit 2 of the 5 villages. Even driving out to Cinque Terre it is beautiful with villages and steeples sprinkled through out the hills and mountains. The best tip I can give you is to sit on the right hand side going there. That has the best views. We were running behind schedule because the ship came in late so we arrived at Manarola and walked down the hill snapping pictures along the way. This is the town with all the houses stacked upon each other in varying pastel colors that you see photos of all the time. When we got to the bottom we were shuffled on to the ferry to take us to the next village which was Montersosso. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to spend any time there as I thought we were going to be there an hour, but I'm guessing since we arrived late plans had changed. Too bad because that was a photographers dream.
