Cinque Terre in Golden Hour
By Emma Larsson · Cinque Terre, Italy · 2025-09-27
Golden hour in Cinque Terre lasts about twenty minutes and every photographer in Liguria knows exactly where to stand. I go ten minutes early and stand somewhere else.
Vernazza from the Monterosso trail is the classic frame. Shoot it, then put the camera away and walk down for focaccia.
Blue hour in Riomaggiore: tripod on the rocks, two-second exposure, harbour lights coming on one by one.
Monterosso is the beach day. Striped umbrellas are a gift to anyone who likes a pattern.
Corniglia sits on a hill above the vines. Fewer people, better light, the best gelato on the coast.
