Rapallo (GE)

When it comes to sheer size, Rapallo outscores any other Riviera seaside resort in Liguria.

The star attraction lies in the picture perfect castle nestled in the sea. The promenade for pedestrians and shopping streets come as a welcome for the tourists who want to mix shop hopping with sightseeing. The town center has historical anecdotes and the continental restaurants are a joy to indulge in.

The enthralling ride up north of the Montallegro is an activity that many tourists indulge in. The reason that makes Rapallo a pit-stop for travelers is the fact that the locale is very well connected to the rest of the Riviera.

The economical hotels and resorts dotting the region is also a plus for the region to be such a hit among travelers.
