Portofino

The place, which is well worth seeing, is small, magical, charming and a fascinating place. Everyone loves to come back, as evidenced by the number of celebrities and VIPs such as Leonardo di Caprio, Steven Spielberg and, in the past, Frank Sinatra, Liz Taylor and Humphrey Bogart, who simply adore this fishing village.

Portofino is the place for the rich and the beautiful. But that's not all: old, brightly painted houses surround the piazzetta and line the pier, giving Portofino a very special charm. The former fishermen's houses are now home to expensive boutiques and restaurants.
Don't miss the famous "Paciugo ice cream".

The Promontorio di Portofino Nature Park is a nature reserve and offers a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Tigullo and is also a great hiking paradise. The cypresses, palm trees and pines offer wonderful shady spots and invite you to linger.

In general, the Portofino peninsula is a real paradise for hikers and nature lovers, but also for divers.

An insider tip is the tip of the Portofino peninsula called Punta Chiappa. At Punta Chiappa there is a grotto and a place to swim with crystal-clear water.

In the Baron Mumm garden, you can experience art in the open air between June and September. The focus here is on modern art. 120 sculptures made from a wide variety of materials such as steel, marble, bronze and glass blend into the natural surroundings and tower over Portofino like sentinels.
