Portofino

Two of the main attractions in Portofino are its harbor and its spectacular views. There is the high profile yachting and other water sports and the churches and museums that give us a little peek into the history of this Italian resort town. To read more on this, go here.

To set a leisurely pace for you to see the town, I recommend walking about. You can walk just about anywhere in Portofino. It is just about 2.6 square kilometers area, so the town of Portofino isn’t too large. Most of the hotels and beaches are just a short walk away from the harbor. Walking around this small town and listening to the sea and taking in the amazing scenery, is an unforgettable experience. Should you need to relax and cool off, there are small wine bars less than a meter from the sea where you could sit and sip on something to refresh you and watch the residents of Portofino and Tourists walk on by.

If you aren’t up to walking, mopeds are catching up as a popular way of getting around town. These are also a wise choice if you plan on seeing neighboring towns like Paraggi or San Fruttuoso as well. Mopeds can be rented quite easily enough. Motorists must park at the village entrance where an obligatory parking fee must be paid.

There are also the ferries that run between the towns on the coast during the tourist season from April to October. Boat rentals are also available around the harbor area and if you have the fortune to hire a boat and have it at your disposal, this is a delightful way of getting around the whole Amalfi Coast of which Portofino forms a part of.
