Spend time around the harbor
Begin with a walk around the waterfront and the small center. Leave room in your plans to pause over a coffee or a meal and enjoy the setting. If you have a boat experience booked, agree the boarding point before deciding where to spend the rest of the day.
Walk up toward San Giorgio and Castello Brown
Walk above the harbor toward San Giorgio and Castello Brown for a different view of Portofino. The castle’s former artillery terrace was transformed into a garden by Consul Brown, whose name the building carries today. It is a small detail that connects the setting with the village’s history. Check current visitor information before going.
Explore the promontory thoughtfully
The Portofino park includes walking routes toward San Fruttuoso. For a visit there, plan your route and return before setting out. Consult the park for current trail conditions and choose an outing that fits your time and walking experience.
See the Tigullio coast by boat
A private boat experience adds time on the water to your visit. AMG offers Portofino and Tigullio experiences lasting seven or three and a half hours, depending on the boat, as well as a two-hour sunset aperitivo. Boarding options include Rapallo, Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino.
Plan your day on the coast
If you also want to see Cinque Terre, discuss the eight-hour combined experience with our team. It is a separate itinerary from the Portofino and Tigullio tour. Tell us where you are staying and the part of the day you most want to enjoy so we can suggest a suitable boat.
