The best time to go to Rapallo is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (April to early June) and early autumn (September to October).

These periods offer pleasant weather, with comfortable temperatures for exploring the town and its surroundings without the intense heat and crowds of mid-summer. You'll find fewer tourists, making it easier to enjoy the promenade, visit the Castello sul Mare, and dine at local restaurants.

For travelers who enjoy swimming and sunbathing, late May and June, or September, are ideal. The sea temperatures are inviting, and the days are generally sunny. This is a great time for couples to enjoy romantic strolls along the waterfront or take boat trips to nearby Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure.

While July and August are popular, they bring larger crowds and higher temperatures, which can make sightseeing less comfortable.
