An absolute highlight of the Italian Riviera is a day trip to Portofino. A former fishing village that attracts VIPs such as designers Dolce & Gabbana, and Armani, industrialists such as Agnelli, politicians and personalities such as the Berlusconi family from all over the world, Portofino is known for its flair. During the summer months, yachts belonging to famous personalities dock in Portofino. This little gem on the Ligurian coast also boasts exclusive boutiques such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Pucci, Cartier and many more.
