Al Faro di Portofino Lounge Bar

Portofino is a world renowned vacation hotspot and has gained a reputation as a luxurious destination that attracts the rich and wealthy. Portofino was a place that we’ve heard about for a while, but never imagined visiting due to the high-ticket cost that comes with it. Portofino is a staple to the Italian Riviera and definitely worth a visit. In this guide, we’ll be showing you the right way to see Portofino if you aren't looking to blow thousands on private villas, mega-yachts, or high-end dinners.

Portofino is definitely one of those places you step foot into and ask yourself “how is this place real?” You truly feel like you are in a dream. It is a fishing village in the Italian Riviera and it is known for its charming port, luxury stores, fisherman boats, ad seafood restaurants. It is the combination of these things that make that harbour feel so special. Portofino is much smaller in size than what people might imagine it to be and you can see it all in just a day. It is also quite expensive. It is definitely worth seeing but you don't necessarily need more than a day here, so what I recommend is staying in the town nearby, Santa Margherita, and venture off to Portofino for day trips or in the evenings. There’s a bus that takes you there in just 10 minutes. That being said, here is everything I would do while in Portofino and what I think is actually worth seeing, eating and drinking!
