Portofino, Liguria- Italy: Things to Do - What, How and Why to visit it (4K)

If you are planning to visit the city of Portofino, in Liguria - Italy, here you’ll find the best tips on things to do in the village, with a sightseeing map on the most relevant points of interest to enjoy, so you can easily imagine and organize your trip: WHAT to see, HOW to plan your visit, and WHY to discover Portofino!
In this video:
WHAT are the major attractions that you can't go home without having seen, including Castello Brown, the Gulf of Portofino, the Church of San Giorgio, footpaths around to walk and the Abbey of San Fruttuoso.
Portofino seems the picture of the perfect port city, with a hill of olive groves and small vineyards in its background.
Portofino was known as Dolphin’s Harbor during the Roman era.
The Benedictines established a monastery in the 1400s.
Now, only 500-or-so people actually reside in Portofino, like fishing families and shop owners.
This picturesque town is an attraction for celebrities: for example, Avril Lavigne spent her honeymoon here and Kylie Minogue regularly visits it.
So, WHAT to see in Portofino?
The medieval castle - Castello Brown - on the top of the hill with a charming view over the Gulf of Portofino.
Church of San Giorgio lies almost in the center of the promontory.
About footpaths, I recommend the trail from Portofino to the Abbey of San Fruttuoso in the Portofino National Park (2 hours of walking).
Abbey of San Fruttuoso was built in the 11th century and is situated on the other side of the peninsula. Here you can find a nice beach and clear waters.
Remember that Portofino can be reached by ferry from Santa Margherita, Rapallo, Camogli, Cinque Terre and Genoa. The closest train station is in Santa Margherita, where there is a bus connection to Portofino.
