The historic centre of di Rapallo still boasts important monuments such as the ancient church of Santo Stefano, the Civic Tower and the Castle of Dragut (an example of sixteenth-century fortifications built to defend the village against the incursions of pirates). From the waterfront the excursion boats depart for Santa Margherita (15 minuses) and Portofino (30 minuses).
