Visit Portofino
Portofino is a very lovely village and harbour on the coast to the north-west of the Cinque Terre region.
This picture-postcard-perfect village is not easy to reach - the road to the Portofino is slow, and parking tricky and expensive. The best way to reach the town is by boat from one of the other harbour towns in the region.
The town is set in an attractive inlet and surrounded by the steep valley sides with their olive trees.
Of course, being very scenic has a downside. Portofino has attracted the great and the good - and above all the wealthy - since the middle of the 20th century. So it is now sophisticated and elegant, busy and expensive.
Posh shops and posh restaurants battle for your attention, but if you have limited funds be cautious about casually sitting down on the terrace of a restaurant for a couple of glasses of wine!
When you have ogled the rich for a while, climb up the hill for a look at the church and castle, and the splendid views from the castle gardens.
