Village
Manarola
Manarola's painted houses climb a rocky harbour, best seen from the coastal path around Punta Bonfiglio.
Follow Punta Bonfiglio to the bend below Nessun Dorma for the village rising above its harbour, then linger as windows light up. The village and viewpoint path are free. Via dell'Amore requires a timed booking and runs one-way from Riomaggiore; the coastal trail to Corniglia is closed, so use the higher route via Volastra and check storm closures. Keep off shoreline rocks during swell.
