ITALIAN RIVIERA TOWNS PHOTO SET
Picture Gallery RT06 - Portofino
Images of Portofino to give a photographic tour of this Levante Riviera seaside town.
Recommended time needed: allow at least a half day.
Suggestions: Everyone should visit at least one of Italy's many jewels, and here we have the romance of the Italian lakes on the mediterranean. This is where Italy's rich and famous take their relaxation, a place where you will see as many 'Riva' lake boats as you will see luxury 'gin-palaces'. Walk the surrounding coastal hills and swim in the clear waters of this most idyllic village port - a truly magical place.

Travel Hint: Travelling along the Italian Riviera to visit Liguria's coastal towns and cities is recommended by train - they are frequent, comfortable and generally on time. They also take you into the resort centres and give you an additional perspective and 'flavour' of Italian life. The car by contrast is not quite as practical and ideal as first appears. There are basically two roads along the Riviera, the 'autostrada' and the 'Aurelia'. Italian 'autostrada' can be fairly stressed environments and the coastal road (via Aurelia) is pretty in parts but very slow, passing through every little seaside town. Additionally, parking in most Ligurian coastal towns is not in abundance and can take much longer to find a space than ever imagined - during most of the year, not just in summer. With car-hire, petrol, motorway tolls and parking charges, the car soon becomes an expensive and less than ideal way of getting around - and more often than not, slower overall than the journey by train.
