One of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life are the 5 small villages on the coast of Italy, called Cinque Terre. These villages are so amazing but they are very hard to reach by car. The best way to visit them is by taking a boat from La Spezia, which is a city near the 5 villages. The villages have the following names:
There are some boat tours where you can hop on a boat in La Spezia, and sail from village to village, and you can take of wherever you want. This way, you can look at all 5 of the villages, and stay wherever you want to stay. All of the villages are fairly small, the biggest one, Monterosso, has a population of almost 1500 people.
All of the 5 villages have enough to offer for you to enjoy a full day. Of course, there are many places where you can stroll through the rocks and look at the amazing view. It is possible to walk from village to village! Fortunately, there are some different ways to rest from the walking. The beaches are simply beautiful. You can enjoy a nice swim in the sea. There are many restaurants and cafes where you can drink a nice glass of wine and have a nice meal. Shortly, there is a lot to do in all of the Cinque Terre’s.
Groningen is an amazing place to visit if you are in The Netherlands. With a population of approximately 200,000 people, it is the 5th largest city in The Netherlands. Given the fact that it is a student city, you can guess for yourself that it is always very cozy in Groningen. There always is something to do!
One of the most amazing things about Groningen is the fact that when the first sun of the spring is visible, the terraces and the parks are immediately packed. The sunglasses are pulled out of the closet, and the first optimists are seen wearing shorts or a shirt. But aside from the fact that Groningen is always alive, which leads to an amazing night life, Groningen has a lot to offer.
For instance, the Groningen Museum is one of the most famous museums of The Netherlands. It is filled with the latest and most popular modern art. The building of the museum itself is a piece of art.
Another fine museum is the museum of cartoons. There are just a few cartoon museums in the world, and the one in Groningen is definitely worth visiting.
Cannobio is a city that lies on the coast of the Lago Maggiore. Lago Maggiore is a beautiful lake, partly in Switzerland and partly in Italy.

Every Saturday, a big market opens in Cannobio. The entire boulevard is filled with hundreds of stands, where you can buy clothes, souvenirs and food. You can stroll through the market for hours. There are so many nice things you can buy there!
If you have had enough from the crowded market, you can enjoy a nice glass of wine. All the wine you drink around the Lago Maggiore, is wine from the area. Which means that the wine is cheap and very fresh. All of the terraces have amazing wines, and you can enjoy the view of the amazing lake on all of them.

Leiden is also known as ‘The Venice of The Netherlands’ due to it’s small canals and ambiance. Leiden is, just like Groningen, a student city. Some of the most powerful people of The Netherlands have gone to college in Leiden. But Leiden has a lot to offer for tourists as well.

When you are done walking through the amazing streets of Leiden, you may want to pay a visit to some of the museums and churches of the city. Here are some options.
These museums and churches are very popular among tourists in Leiden. If you are in Leiden, you really should pay a visit to one of them.
