Portofino, Italy - Picturesque harbor arrival
When the MSC Splendida called on the port of Genoa, I chose to visit Portofino as my shore excursion. Join me as I cruise past colorful gondolas and sleek yachts into Portofino harbor on a beautiful sunny day.

This is the ferry ride to Portofino. Great weather and sky blue water. This was awesome!
Portofino to Rapallo on the Italian Riviera
Nice and easy way to see Portofino is by boat from Rapallo via Santa Margherita. Sit and enjoy the scenery (and more than a hint of the lifestyle of the rich and famous). Also the views from the Brown castle looking down on Portofino are well worth the climb to get there...

Using Universal's water taxi to travel between the Portofino Bay hotel and the parks and Citywalk is the best way to get around. Here is the return from a day on the rollercoasters to the quiet of the Portofino Bay by boat.

Breve filmato realizzato a Portofino il 21/12/2011 dopo un'ennesima uscita in bicicicletta.
Sempre bello il borgo ligure poi oggi poco frequentato.
Solo i gabbiani a tenere compagnia alle poche persone con i loro versi.

Portofino and Santa Margherita, Italy
Portofino along the shores of the Italian Riviera, a little seaport town, has a terrace with the picture-perfect postcard view of Portofino’s harbor, colorful buildings, and green hills beyond. This is not to be missed; in fact this view is the reason for our visit. Somehow the overall elements around you fit together in a perfectly harmonious whole,
Santa Margherita is a classic town on the waterfront of the Italian Riviera, with arcaded sidewalks, beautiful palm trees and a green park promenade along the beach and marina.
When you walk in a block from the waterfront you discover a charming Old Town atmosphere with pedestrian streets, little piazzas, shops, restaurants and locals out for a stroll. Not many tourists in this town, which therefore has a more authentic Italian feeling. It’s a great little town full of light and color with orange and brown pastel buildings nestled right up against the picturesque waterfront.

Portofino In May
????????BEAUTIFUL PORTOFINO - ITALIAN RIVIERA ????????
We traveled to northern Italy for 4 nights between May 26th - 30th 2018. We booked an apartment in La Spezia as our base, called 'La Dame' - very quirky, clean and had absolutely everything we needed, well worth looking up especially as it was minutes away from the train station too. We flew into Pisa and caught a taxi that took us to the leaning tower. We had a wonder around then walked 20 minutes back to the train station to board a train to La Spezia (it took an hour). We had a chilled evening, drank lots of Prosecco and went in search of a few bars. On our first full day in Italy, we decided to visit the 5 UNESCO world heritage villages collectively called 'Cinque Terre' or 5Terre. We were anticipating huge crowds of people visiting Cinque Terre so planned a bit ahead.
We decided to get up early and visit Vernazza first as this village seemed to be the most popular one to visit. We bought a Cinque Terre day pass which entitled us to hop on and off the train going between these villages all throughout the day and it cost us around 15.60 Euros. Next, we bought a train ticket which cost us around 13 Euros return to Santa Margherita Ligure and we were to stay there for one night so we can visit nearby Portofino the following day.
In this vlog -
We spent the morning at our hotel in Santa Margherita Ligure swimming in the sea and rooftop pool. Just before lunch, we caught a bus from outside our hotel - Best Western Regina Elena which cost us 3 euros for a single and took around 8-10 minutes to arrive at Portofino. When we arrived, it didn't seem that busy which was lovely to wander around and take photos without crowds of people in your way however, after we had lunch around 1pm, Portofino soon started to get busier. I had seen amazing arial / panoramic views of the bay of Portofino and noticed a path leading up to Castello Brown. After a bit of googling, we decided to venture up. It took us around 10-15 minutes, steep in parts but a really lovely walk up. Entry into the castle costs 5 euros and the views were absolutely amazing. The castle is very small but had some lovely art exhibitions inside as well as beautiful gardens. We absolutely loved Portofino, such a pretty part of the Italian Riviera and we spent nearly all day there, eventually leaving early evening on the boat back to Santa Margherita which costs us 7 euros and took around 20 minutes....well worth doing as the views leaving Portofino are stunning including watching the huge yachts coming into dock.
Our 4 days in Italy went really fast but we also packed in so many brilliant experiences. Cinque Terre has been on my top 'to do' list for many years and it did not disappoint, i would love to go back one day and spend a bit more time around this area including doing the hikes between the Cinque Terre villages.
I hope you enjoyed watching my Italian Riviera travel diary series, speak soon. Claire x

Trip to Portofino August 2013
Taking a FERRY from Portofino to San Fruttuoso
Nestled on the Italian Riviera coastline lays Portofino, a fishing village southeast of Genoa city. Pastel-colored houses, high-end boutiques, and seafood restaurants fringe its Piazzetta, a small cobbled square overlooking the harbor, which is lined with super-yachts. A local ferry company named Servizio Marittimo del Tigullio operates a shuttle-like service that connects Portofino to similar towns like Santa Margherita Ligure, San Fruttuoso, and many more. I took the nonstop route to San Fruttuoso, which is luckily under 20 minutes away by ferry.
I hope you enjoy the video!

Line Number: 1
Route: Portofino to San Fruttuoso (and back)

Mediterranean Cruise! Arrived in AMAZING Genoa & Breathtaking Portofino, Italy! 地中海游轮！抵达意大利热那亚和波托菲诺
By 8AM sharp, we arrived in the port of Genoa. We spent the entire day in this wonderful corner of Italy. We also hired a Taxi to take us to the breathtaking Portofino. We spent a great amount of time in this little town with great Italian cuisine.
After the meal, we also visited a great church (all to ourselves) in Santa Margherita. It was an amazing day!
