Funivia Rapallo Montallegro Stazione a Valle — Attraction in Rapallo

Cable car goes up & down every 30 minutes, with a break between 12h30 and 14h30. A 2 way ticket is €10, but I'd say it's worth it.

We went up just before the break at 12h30 and did a small walk and visit to the church, before eating in the Montallegro hotel/restaurant. We had a very good lunch, at a good price, and with an amazing view!

Afterwards we walked up to Monte Rosa. It's a cute trail of medium difficulty and only a 5 to 10 minute walk to the top. The only disadvantage is that the top does not provide a nice view point due to all the trees. Otherwise, I would've given 5 stars.

I would recommend going here. If you take the cable car, I would combine it with a lunch at the restaurant or a walk up or down. The walk from Rapallo to the top is 4km/90 minutes. I haven't done it myself, but if you're physically up for it, I would...

Near the church there are two restaurants, each with stunning views of the bay, Portofino and the sea beyond. The church is counter reformation pasticche, though it possess a beautiful fascade, setting and is place of...

The cable car was a quiet and beautiful ride. The car holds between 10 and 15 people. They load up ever ten minutes. If you are the last car before they close for Lunch (12:30) you will be at the top for two hours. We went to the restaurant behind the church to eat and wait. It’s a very quiet atmosphere with no background music or noise, be prepared to be a bit bored if you have kids. If you know you are wanting to eat at this restaurant make reservations if you plan on sitting on the edge outside, most of those tables were reserved. There are cats too that were pretty...
