Portofino
Getting Here
By car, exit at Rapallo off the A12 and follow the blue signs (about a 20-minute drive mostly along the coast). The nearest train station is Santa Margherita Ligure.
Trying to reach Portofino by bus or car on the single narrow road can be a nightmare in summer and on holiday weekends. No trains go directly to Portofino: you must stop at Santa Margherita and take the Number 82 public bus from there (€1). An alternative is to take a boat from Santa Margherita.
Portofino can also be reached from Santa Margherita on foot: it's about a 40-minute (very nice) walk along the sea.
