Discover Portofino area

  • Walk along sea-side promenades in pastel painted towns
  • Hop on a ferry from Portofino to the Cinque Terre
  • Walk through the Portofino Natural Park

The Ligurian towns near Portofino are an exciting mix of glamour and wealth, and down-to-earth, rustic charm; from the ‘dolce vita’ of Portofino itself, to Rapallo, popular with holidaying Italian families. Walking in the Portofino National Park reminds you that there's still a lot of rural land around these picture-perfect towns, just a stone's throw from the coast. Exploring on foot is a great way to get to know the real Liguria, where farmers still work on the land and old farm houses stand strong in the middle of the countryside.

Things to do in Portofino

In true Italian fashion, Portofino's a fantastic place to visit if you're an art lover. Walk up to the church of St Giorgio and check out the doors! They're reminiscent of Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise in Florence with several panels depicting various biblical scenes. The artist, Lorenzo Cascio, also has a gallery in Portofino full of his Ancient Greek inspired artworks. While you're in Portofino check out the international outdoor sculpture centre which displays sculptures from about fifty contemporary artists in an outdoor area overlooking the harbour.

Rustic Streets in Santa Margherita, Liguria, Italy

From Rapallo you can get a direct train to towns like Bogliasco, Sori and Zoagli. These towns are all hidden gems and full of locals. The beach in Bogliasco is very popular in the summer, set beneath rocky walls it's the ideal un-spoilt area to enjoy on a summer's day. Make sure you also check out the ancient Roman bridge, it's the perfect spot for an Instagram moment!

San Fruttuoso is a wonderful abbey set in a small cove of the Portofino promontory, between the lush green of the Portofino Regional Natural Park and the sea. This beautiful place, quiet, protected and difficult to reach, was the ideal place for monks to build a monastery.

There's a statue of Christ of the Abyss underwater in the Cove of San Fruttuoso. This eight foot tall bronze statue lives 17 metres under the Mediterranean sea and is a popular attraction for scuba-divers. Created by Guido Galetti in the 50’s, there are two more copies, one in Grenada and one in Key Largo, Florida. It was significantly placed exactly where Duilio Marcante, the first Italian man to use SCUBA gear died in 1947 and is dedicated to him. The stature shows Christ raising his arms as a symbol of peace.

A full day walking tour through the Cinque Terre Villages with spectacular coastal views. You'll start the day by heading into the town of Riomaggiore on the train and from there spend the day exploring villages perched above the sea and the hidden alleyways in each Cinque Terre town.
