🇮🇹Don’t miss this place in Portofino 🏰⤵️ This view isn’t from a hotel or a secret viewpoint in Portofino! This stunning view is from Castello Brown - a historical house museum located high above the hills for best vantage over Portofino’s harbor! 😍 Would you spend €5 for this view in Portofino? 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐋 𝐓𝐈𝐏𝐒: ✦ The entry fee to Castello Brown is €5 and open daily from 9:30am-7:30pm in summer ✦ Since it is located above the hills, its a steep climb with many steps! But all worth it for this view! ✦ The museum as such doesn’t provide much relics but worth visiting the castle as it is surrounded by a Mediterranean garden full of flowers, rose gardens, pergolas & most stunning view in Portofino. ✦ It is best to visit during the opening times for best light as later during the day, the light gets really harsh! ✦ There is a small cafe inside to buy drinks and enjoy views of Portofino harbor from the garden. ✦ For the ladies visiting the toilet: don’t miss the epic window view from the restroom too! 🥲 📍Castello Brown, Portofino, Italy🇮🇹 Follow @globetrottingsu for more travel tips, itineraries and adventure✨ . . . . . #portofino #visititaly #liguria #italia #visitportofino #summerinitaly #europetravel #iloveitaly

🇮🇹 10 things to do in Portofino ⬇️ Italy 🍹 Drinks with a view at Al Faro Bar 💦 Take a swim at Portofino’s iconic beach, Baia Cannone. I’ve made a video with instructions on how to get there in my Italy guides. 🍦 Eat the best ice cream from Gelateria Gepi 👟 Stroll along the scene “Walk of Kisses” path from Paraggi to Portofino (approx 2km/25 min walk) 🏰 Hike to Castello Brown for the best views of Portofino (entrance fee is 5€) 🍝 Lunch at @belmondsplendidomare Note: you don’t have to stay at the hotel to make a lunch reservation at their restaurant, and trust me the food & views are worth it! 🎭 Check out the unusual sculptures at Museo del Parco. 🍳 Breakfast at the historic Caffè Excelsior. ☕️ Enjoy an espresso in La Piazzetta and admire the yachts in the marina. ⛪️ Marvel at the Church of San Martino. 🍽️ Dinner at Ö Magazín. You’ll only need one day in Portofino to do & see all the best bits, and trust me if you stay any longer you’ll likely send yourself broke. You can do Portofino on a budget however, swim at the beach for free, pack a supermarket lunch and you can easily spend less than 10€ with entrance to Castello Brown and a cheeky gelato to cool yourself down in the summer months. How to get there? From within Italy, the most affordable way to get to Portofino is to catch a train to Santa Margherita Ligure station and from here there is a 3€ bus (line 782) that’ll take you to Portofino. We did a day trip to Portofino from Cinque Terre and it’s also an easy train journey from Genoa. Day trips from Milan and Florence to Portofino are also possible but be sure to plan your journey in advance (I use rome2rio and trainline) as trains are less frequent.

Planning an Italy trip this summer?! Here is my recommended itinerary & tips for a 2 week stay & Don’t forget to save this for your trip! 🤗 *Start in Milan. Spend 1 or 2 nights & stay near the Duomo square! Explore the Duomo, head for shopping or eye candy in the amazing Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle! 🛍 *Go for drinks at one of the rooftop terraces overlooking the Duomo 🍹 *Next head to Cinque Terre for 3 nights. Stay at one of the Villages! Vernazza or Riomaggiore are my favorite and def visit Manarola and Monterosso al Mare! 🌊 *Drinks and aperitivo is a must at Nessun Dorma in Manarola for the best views in Cinque Terre! 🍷🍕My tip is to go get a ticket right away when you get there and then explore the village till your turn comes so you avoid wasting time while waiting for your table! *Next dont miss out on Portofino! ❤️Spend a day or 2! Has such an amazing old luxury Italian vibe! The town is super picturesque and def hike up to the Castello Brown 🏰 for the best views! *Head South to Florence for 3 nights. Explore the Duomo, if you are into art you should def visit The Uffici & Galleria dell’ Academia! 🎨 Also visit the Giardini Boboli & Giardino Bardini which are beautiful! 💐🌷🌺 *Continue to Rome for 3 nights (checkout my 3day Rome itinerary Reel) OR to the Amalfi Coast - explore Positano, Ravello, Amalfi, Atrani & Capri 🚤 *Finish your trip by getting lost in the gorgeous alleys and bridges of Venice, for 3 nights. Explore St. Marcs Square and have pizza at Antico Forno 🍕 Also visit Burano which is a charming nearby colorful island! . . . . . . . #positano #cinqueterre #gondole #hairstyles #venezia #italia #piazzasanmarco #amalfi #sorrento #italy #igitaly #veneto #instaitalia #igersitaly #ig_italy #Verona #roma #italia_inunoscatto #italianplaces #perfect_italia #fotoitaliane #genoa #lagodicomo #milano #riomaggiore #visitvenice #visitvenezia #rome #vernazza #portofino
