Boasting a rich tapestry of history, Portofino has enthralled visitors since the late 19th century. With deep roots in fishing and trade, this tranquil town saw a shift in its economic landscape with the arrival of elite Northern European tourists, redefining its charm as a VIP destination. Today, it's not uncommon to see Hollywood A-listers and royalty frequenting the waterfront cafés that line its harbour.

In 2023, Portofino introduced a law restricting certain spots in the town from stopping, an attempt to combat congestion caused by eager tourists capturing their idyllic experiences. However, this hasn't dampened the town's magnetic appeal. Attractions such as the iconic Castello Brown, the Church of St. Martin and the enigmatic Christ of the Abyss underwater statue continue to draw in the crowds. And let's not forget, it's also been a home to the likes of Rex Harrison and Lilli Palmer and has been immortalised in literature, films and even theme parks across the globe.

When to visit Portofino

Choosing when to visit Portofino can make all the difference in your Italian getaway. For optimum weather, plan your visit between April and October. If seeking warm, balmy days, July and August are the hottest months, while those preferring cooler, quieter times, may opt for the chillier months of January and February.

Be prepared for rainfall if visiting between October and December, while the best time to take a dip in the inviting Mediterranean waters is from June to September. Regardless of when you decide to travel, an indelible adventure awaits you in the enchanting town of Portofino.
