🛥️ Experiences
- Portofino, San Fruttuoso & Camogli Boat Tour — cruise the marine reserve, swim at San Fruttuoso Abbey and see the coast the way it's meant to be seen: from the water.
- Castello Brown — the 16th-century castle on the headland above the harbour, and the spot every postcard shot of Portofino is taken from. A short climb from the Piazzetta rewards you with the definitive view over the bay; carry on up the path afterwards to the lighthouse at the tip. Tickets are bought at the door — bring a few euros in cash.
