4Rapallo
Larger and more bustling than some of its neighboring towns, Rapallo is a vibrant seaside resort town with a rich history. The town’s palm-lined promenade stretches along the waterfront, where visitors can admire views of the harbor filled with fishing boats and luxury yachts. The historical center of Rapallo is home to a mix of medieval and modern architecture, including the striking Castello di Rapallo, a small castle built in the 16th century that sits right on the water’s edge. From Rapallo, visitors can take a funicular ride to the Sanctuary of Montallegro, a hilltop church offering panoramic views of the town and the surrounding coastline. Rapallo is also a gateway to the nearby towns of the Cinque Terre, making it an ideal base for exploring the region.
