Portofino, Italy

Jewel-like Portofino, a jumble of skinny houses in every shade of gelato, clusters around a tiny harbor. Stroll the waterfront, admiring the boats, people-watching, and checking out the designer boutiques. Or hike up the hill to Castello Brown to explore the museum and scented rose gardens. From town, join an excursion to the pretty fishing villages of Cinque Terre, where you can feast on fritto misto, paper cones filled with fried fish.
