Arriving into Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport puts you right near the picturesque seaside town of Rapallo, Italy. With a scooter rental or motorcycle rental from Riderly, you'll be ready to explore this hidden gem on the Italian Riviera. Winding your way along the coastline leads you to some of the most beautiful vistas in Italy, with the shimmering blue Mediterranean Sea on one side and the rugged Ligurian Apennine mountains on the other.
Rapallo’s mild climate makes it ideal for outdoor adventures. Ride out to the historic Abbey of San Fruttuoso, nestled in a rocky cove and only accessible by foot or boat. Or continue west to Santa Margherita Ligure to relax at its beaches and chic cafés.
Don't miss the nearby Portofino promontory, dotted with pastel-colored villas overlooking the harbor. Back in town, stroll down the palm-lined seaside promenade and stop for lunch at one of Rapallo’s many restaurants serving fresh seafood and pasta. Wander through the pedestrian streets of the historic center, then ride up to the 16th-century Castello sul Mare to enjoy sweeping views.
Spend an afternoon exploring the trails and gardens of Villa Durazzo, or head east to the Cervara Abbey. Venturing further afield with your own set of wheels allows you to discover small fishing villages and more hidden gems. Consider a day trip to Camogli or to the Cinque Terre villages down the coast.
With so much natural beauty and history to uncover, a scooter rental or motorcycle rental gives you the freedom to explore Rapallo and the Italian Riviera at your own pace.
