Where is the best view of Cinque Terre?

i) Undoubtedly, the best is the Santa Maria Belvedere terrace. From here, you have panoramic views across the Ligurian sea and the Cinque Terre coastline. There's also a bar along the terrace, Bar Terza Terra where we sat to have a drink at the end of a long day hiking. It was a perfect way to end a day - unbeatable.
