About Rapallo
Rapallo: Ligurian Riviera Town on the Gulf of Tigullio
Rapallo sits on the eastern arc of the Gulf of Tigullio, 30 km southeast of Genoa along the Ligurian Riviera di Levante. The town's waterfront promenade, the Lungomare Vittorio Veneto, runs past a 16th-century castle built on a rocky promontory just offshore. Behind the seafront, the medieval Borgo Antico holds narrow caruggi lanes, the Basilica dei Santi Gervasio e Protasio, and the hilltop sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Montallegro, reachable by cable car from the town centre. The Treaty of Rapallo was signed here in November 1920, drawing diplomats and journalists who cemented the town's European profile.
Where to Stay
Hotels concentrate along the Lungomare and on the slopes above Via Marsala. Visitors come for the Portofino peninsula day trips — Portofino village lies 8 km west by boat or bus — and for walking the trail network connecting Rapallo to Santa Margherita Ligure and Camogli. The bay shelters a sailing marina with year-round berths.
Practical Tips
- Getting there: Regional trains from Genoa Brignole reach Rapallo in roughly 35 minutes; the station is 400 m from the seafront.
- Best season: April–June and September offer mild temperatures without peak-July crowds.
- Day trips: Book the Portofino Nature Reserve entry online; capacity is capped in summer.
- Cable car: The Montallegro funicular runs daily; the round trip takes about 20 minutes and gains 612 m in altitude.
