Santa Margherita Ligure

Two-day rail city break from Switzerland to Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy

Railtour Suisse offers this two-day, one-night city break to Santa Margherita Ligure, a resort town on the Gulf of Tigullio between Portofino and Rapallo on the Ligurian coast. The package includes a 2nd class return train journey from Switzerland and one night in a 3-star hotel, with no guide or organized excursions included. A direct train runs on weekends from April; at other times, or on other days, the journey goes via Milan and takes about 7 hours. The operator's highlights point to the town itself, plus easy reach of Portofino and Rapallo. No day-by-day itinerary is published, so this suits independent travelers exploring the coast at their own pace.
