Cinque Terre, Italy
Italy’s Tuscan Riviera coastline is only a few miles long, comprising five famous villages and the surrounding park, all of which are UNESCO-listed, according to Responsible Travel.
“Day trippers from La Spezia swell the crowds, and it’s thought there are an estimated 2.5 million visitors a year, wearing down the narrow hiking trails between the villages,” Francis says. “Authorities want to cut numbers by a million, but how they will is unclear.”
There’s an app that alerts hikers when a trail is too busy, which is normally most trails, any time after 10 a.m.
