- Visit Portofino - “A small village, Portofino, stretches crescent-shaped along the edge of this calm bay.” Thus wrote Guy de Maupassant when describing Portofino, tiny sea village on the Italian Riviera.
- Admire the colourful houses - It’s very rare to find white houses in Liguria, because there is an ancient tradition of painting them with pastel colors.
- Go shopping! - Portofino is famous for its luxury shops and you can find the most glamorous brands there. One would not expect to find a boutique in a narrow and ancient alley or in front of a marina, but in Portofino it can happen!
- Have ice cream at Caffe' Excelsior - The famous ice cream called “paciugo” (literally “mixture”) was invented here. It is made of chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, fresh summer fruits, sour cherries in syrup and chopped hazelnuts.
- Bike tours through the Cinque Terre - Sport lovers will surely enjoy this bike itinerary among the hills. It’s very panoramic and it offers spectacular views of the Gulf.
