| summary= The town and harbour of Rapallo lie in a sheltered position at the head of a small gulf, which has one of the most benign climates along the whole of the Ligurian coast of [[Italy]].  This accounts for its popularity with wealthy Italians living in NW Italy, whose opulent villas line the hills behind the town.  Famous residents attracted by the mild winters and scenic hinterland include the American poet Ezra Pound and the English writer Max Beerbohm.  Rapallo has its place in history, too, as the venue for the signing of a peace treaty between Italy and future Yugoslavia in 1920, which defined the borders between the two nations, and a similar treaty between the Russians and Germans in 1922, which lasted until the Nazi invasion of Russia in 1941. The attraction for yachtsmen here is the sheltered harbour and its [[Carlo Riva Marina]], which offers a useful alternative to the frenetically busy harbour of [[Portofino]] four miles to the S.

The prevailing winds along the western part of the Ligurian coast during the summer are a SW or SE sea breeze, which rarely gets up much above force 4-5. Along the eastern part of the coast, the winds tend to come more from W or NW and are again usually little more than moderate. While infrequent, gales are not unknown during the spring and early summer and are typically caused by depressions further west in the Golfe du Lion which bring strong N winds as they move further E. In winter, the tramontana, a strong N wind off the Alps, is more frequent, although the libecchio is a strong SW wind that can affect the whole of the Ligurian coast and blow for several days, causing heavy seas.

The town and waterfront of Rapallo, while not as picturesque as [[Portofino]], are most attractive.  At the northern end of the bay is the impressive Castello sul Mare (castle on the sea), built in the 16th century to protect the harbour from pirate incursions.  A cable car runs up to the top of the mountain of Montallegro, where there is a 16th century sanctuary commemorating a sighting of the Virgin Mary in 1557.  The hinterland is green and mountainous and there are some lovely walks in the Parco Naturale Regionale di Portofino of which Rapallo is part.  The philosopher Friedrich Nietsche is said to have conceived the idea for his monumental work ''Also Sprach Zarathustra'' while walking here.

The town and harbour of Rapallo lie in a sheltered position at the head of a small gulf, which has one of the most benign climates along the whole of the Ligurian coast of Italy. This accounts for its popularity with wealthy Italians living in NW Italy, whose opulent villas line the hills behind the town. Famous residents attracted by the mild winters and scenic hinterland include the American poet Ezra Pound and the English writer Max Beerbohm. Rapallo has its place in history, too, as the venue for the signing of a peace treaty between Italy and future Yugoslavia in 1920, which defined the borders between the two nations, and a similar treaty between the Russians and Germans in 1922, which lasted until the Nazi invasion of Russia in 1941. The attraction for yachtsmen here is the sheltered harbour and its Carlo Riva Marina, which offers a useful alternative to the frenetically busy harbour of Portofino four miles to the S.

At the northern end of the bay is the impressive Castello sul Mare (castle on the sea), built in the 16th century to protect the harbour from pirate incursions. A cable car runs up to the top of the mountain of Montallegro, where there is a 16th century sanctuary commemorating a sighting of the Virgin Mary in 1557.
