Insider Tip 💡
The Italian Riviera is stunning, but the village streets are steep and uneven. Do not wear flip-flops, sandals, or heels. For safety reasons, you won't be allowed on the trails or certain parts of the tour without proper footwear. Pack a comfortable pair of closed-toe walking shoes. Also, don't forget your swimsuit and sunscreen if you want to take a dip in Monterosso!
