Lucca to Portofino

[PamColeman]

Hi- group of 6 (3 couples) traveling around Italy for 2 weeks. Trying to fit soooo much in!
My question?- We are renting a villa near Lucca. We have day trips planned to Florence, Cinque Terre and Chianti.
We have a rental van. Is it worth planning a day trip to Portofino? If so, what suggested mode of travel.
I am reading a lot about how parking is impossible.
Since we are spending an entire day in Cinque Terre (private boat charter to all 5 Cinque Terre provinces), should we try and do Portofino also or is this more of the same (except for the shopping!)
Any help is appreciated! Our first time to Italy.
Thanks!

Buongiorno,

I know you will be very tempted to "do everything" and Portofino is a lovely town...

However, I believe just visiting the Cinque Terre you will have full day. If you want to do some shopping you could looking into the outlet shopping
