Route Overview: Nice to Portofino

The transfer from Nice to Portofino follows one of the most scenically spectacular motorway corridors in Europe. Departing from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE), your hotel on the Promenade des Anglais or any address in the city, the route heads east on the A8 La Provençale through the Corniche territory above Monaco, crosses the Franco-Italian border at Ponte San Ludovico between Menton and Ventimiglia, and continues on the A10 Autostrada dei Fiori — the Motorway of Flowers — eastward along the Riviera Ligure di Ponente.

Passing through Bordighera, Sanremo, Taggia, Imperia, Alassio and Savona, the route then joins the A26 and A7 toward Genova before taking the A12 along the Riviera Ligure di Levante through Rapallo and Santa Margherita Ligure. The final approach to Portofino descends through the Gulf of Tigullio and the Portofino Promontory — one of the most breathtaking coastal landscapes in the Mediterranean.

Portofino itself is a tiny fishing village of extraordinary beauty — its multicoloured houses, the Piazzetta, the Castello Brown above the harbor and the crystal-clear waters of the Porto di Portofino make it one of the most photographed and visited spots in all of Italy. Our drivers know every access road and parking point on the Portofino Promontory, including the approach from Santa Margherita Ligure and the restricted vehicle access zones within the village.
