Rapallo Waterfront Promenade

A Jewel of the Ligurian Riviera

Nestled on the eastern arc of the Gulf of Tigullio, Rapallo is one of the most prestigious seaside resorts of Liguria. This camera frames its graceful Passeggiata a Mare, where palm trees and pastel facades trace the curving shoreline of one of Italy's most beloved coastal towns.

The Carlo Riva Marina

At the heart of the scene lies the rebuilt Porto Turistico Carlo Riva, a celebrated yacht harbour reconstructed after a historic storm. Its breakwaters shelter a forest of masts, and the jetty hosts the mini-cruise ferries that link Rapallo to the Portofino promontory.

Hills of Capo Pomaro

Beyond the marina, the wooded slope of Capo Pomaro climbs steeply from the water, studded with historic villas and grand hotels that recall Rapallo's Belle Époque heyday as an international resort.

A Living Coastal Stage

From strolling visitors on the boardwalk to fishing boats and pleasure craft crossing the bay, the waterfront is a constantly animated tableau of Ligurian life, framed by the deep blue of the Tigullio sea.
