Day Trip from Genoa to Portofino - Ferry & Train Guide

Genoa is the gateway. Portofino is the jewel.

By Boat (The Scenic Way)

From the Golfo Paradiso dock (right next to the Aquarium bus stop), ferries depart daily in summer.

• The Ride: 1 hour of coastline views. You arrive in Portofino by sea, just like the celebrities.

By Train & Bus

If the sea is rough, take a train from Brignole (bus stop nearby) to Santa Margherita Ligure, then the local bus or a beautiful walk to Portofino.

• Why go? To see the "Piazzetta", the brown castle, and drink the most expensive coffee of your life. Worth it.
