Italian Riviera (Cinque Terre area?) or Lake Como? Have you been there?

Question

What did you think? If I have 3 full days at one of these places, which would you choose?

Answer 1

Ive been to Lake Maggiore and Cinque Terre

i would pick Cinque Terre any day.  its the best.  great none touristy atmosphere when i was there.  and its a great seaside area

Answer 2

Lake Como is situated just south of the Swiss border and has both the Italian charm and Swiss sense of calm and order.  I take Como any day over the Riviera, but that's more because I've had my fill of Riviera like living and prefer the lake and clean air for a change of pace.

Answer 3

Cinque Terre. I love Riomaggiore, my dad was born there. I really miss it. Bring a great camera along.  Read more about it, it is breathtaking! Eat focaccia, it is great!
