The Best things to do in Portofino
If you're on a budget in Portofino, to be completely honest your options will be more limited. There's no doubt about it, Portofino is an expensive little town with restaurants charging a premium for it's location. We had coffee and a toastie on the harbour and the bill came to $32 .. ouch!! BUT, it is entirely possible to still soak up the beauty of this quaint place without needing to drop a large amount of Euros!

People Watching
One of our favourite things to do was to sit and people watch, it's an awesome spot to watch all the different tourists and locals buzz around the town. We chose a café right on the water and enjoyed a Cappuccino, watching the world go by enjoying the sun and it was one of our favourite mornings in Italy!
