For the best Instagram photo spots in Cinque Terre, you can read this post. Cinque Terre is beautiful and there are many photogenic places! That's one of the reasons why you should visit Cinque Terre.
Cinque Terre is a gorgeous area in Italy. It consists of five beautiful villages.
The villages are Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vernazza, Monterosso al Mare, and Corniglia. These villages are famous for the colorful photogenic houses. It's very easy to access the villages because they all have a train station.
For those who love photography, this Italian area is perfect! You can find the most beautiful photo spots in Cinque Terre below.
I'd recommend spending 2 days in Cinque Terre, but staying longer allows you to take more photos of the spots in this list.

1. View of Vernazza
One of the most impressive places for photography in Cinque Terre is this viewpoint. From here, you have a breathtaking view of Vernazza.
The location of this place is along the hiking trail between Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare. It's actually very close to the center of Vernazza. It will take about twenty minutes to get here from the center.
If you want to go here, you need a Cinque Terre Card. This card is mandatory if you want to go on the hiking trails. But it's definitely worth it, as the view is amazing! It's one of the most photogenic places in Cinque Terre.
Furthermore, it's also fun to hike in Cinque Terre. So if you're going to get the card, I'd definitely recommend hiking here as well.
Yet, you can also only take a photo here and then go back to Vernazza. Traveling by train in Cinque Terre is much faster.
To get here, you have to go underneath a fence. After that, you need to climb down a bit. This is definitely one of the best Instagram photo spots in Cinque Terre!
As you need to climb down a bit to reach this point, your photographer can be higher. The photo will be very different if you take it from above! It looks a bit as if you took it with a drone. I love that!
If you want the water to be as blue as possible, the best time to go here is in the afternoon. Because of the angle of the sun at that time, the water looks very blue!
2. On the railing of the path going up in Manarola
The houses of Manarola are very photogenic. There are several places where you can take the perfect picture. But, this is definitely one of my favorite spots! This place belongs to the best Instagram photo spots in Cinque Terre.
You can find this railing when you're going up in Manarola. It looks as if the railing is very high. But, that isn't the case at all! If you walk for a while, you will get to a point where there are buildings and ground under the railing. Thus, you can sit there.
I love how spectacular this spot looks! It's one of the best photo spots in Cinque Terre for sure.
You can take the photo from far away, but also from a bit more up close!
3. Next to the railing in Riomaggiore
Riomaggiore is a very cute village. It's especially beautiful because of the colorful Italian houses. This spot is next to the railing in Riomaggiore.
From here, you have the perfect view of the houses! Furthermore, you can also see the sea from here. This is a great combination.
The photo below was early in the morning. The lighting is very different at that time. In Riomaggiore, I prefer the lighting in the afternoon. But the sunrises here are magical!
No matter what time you're here, it's one of the most photogenic places in Cinque Terre.
4. Manarola on the path leading up
Another one of the best Instagram photo spots in Cinque Terre is this path. This is the same path as the one of photo spot two. But, this place is much closer to the houses. From here, you have an amazing view of the houses!
In the photo below, I'm looking at another path in Manarola. From there, you also have a great view of the houses. But, the path where I'm standing is much quieter! Thus, it's easier to get a photo without the crowds here.
The houses look so beautiful from this spot! If you're at this place, you should also have a look at the sea. It's gorgeous from here!
You can make many different photos here. Try to vary where you're looking at and how close the camera is to you. If you do that, you'll have plenty of different pictures!
