24 August 2026 · 3 min read

What to do in Portofino if it rains: visit Castello Brown, museums, shopping in the alleys and typical restaurants.

Even in the rain, Portofino keeps its charm: museums, oratories, shopping and seafood dinners let you enjoy the village far from the sunshine crowds.

Castello Brown and oratories

Castello Brown and the oratory of Nostra Signora Assunta are open year-round and offer indoor visits with views over the deserted piazzetta in the rain.

Shopping in the alleys

The arcaded alleys host historic boutiques and artisan workshops: the perfect chance for quality shopping without getting wet.

Lunch at a trattoria

A typical village trattoria, with freshly baked Recco focaccia and trofie al pesto, is the ideal refuge: booking still advised.
