Where this sits in Genoa & Portofino
Genoa & Portofino is about 12 min by road from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport. A working port with a tangled old town and better food than its reputation, and the Riviera villages start immediately east. Portofino for the look of it; Genoa for actually staying.
