Plan your time ashore
For a visit to Portofino Italy, check the current arrival and departure times, the actual berth or tender arrangements, and the distance between the port and the places you hope to see. Leave a comfortable margin for returning to the ship.
Solo travelers may prefer an organized excursion, independent exploring or a quieter day on board. Ask about excursion availability, walking distances, accessibility needs and local transport before making plans. Entry requirements and local conditions need current confirmation.

Picturesquely situated in a narrow cove on
Italy's northern coast lies enchanting Portofino. The tiny port owes its
fame and popularity to its spectacular setting, agreeable climate, and lush,
luxuriant vegetation. This acclaimed Pearl of the Mediterranean has long
been a favored gathering place for celebrities and artists who have come to
appreciate the unsurpassed charm and intimacy of the cliff-lined harbor. Overlooking the rocky coastline,
quaint Portofino surprises with incredible views of the Gulf of Rapallo and
the surrounding hillsides, covered with pines and olive trees. High above
the village stands the church of San Giorgio, offering a beautiful view of
the resort and the harbor. Even more extensive views are available from the
platform beside the Fortezza de San Giorgio. In 1935, the city government of nearby Genoa declared Portofino a
national monument. Altering the architecture of any structure requires
approval from a committee. Thus, Portofino's look has changed very little
over the past 60 years. Bronzed and beautiful visitors
enjoy the unique ambiance, chic boutiques, and quaint cafes that overlook
the small yacht harbor and line the narrow, cobbled streets. Others explore
the surrounding coastline, where tiny villages are tucked away in hidden
coves. Don't miss out on the people watching, while sitting leisurely in one of
the outdoor cafes, sipping a Campari or enjoying a cappuccino.
