Welcome to La Spezia
La Spezia’s cruise port serves as the entry point for travelers headed to high-profile destinations like the Cinque Terre, Florence, or Pisa. Those who take a few hours to visit the old town, however, are rewarded with a surprisingly charming city rich in art nouveau architecture, a historic market square, and a palm-lined promenade along the sea. This historic seaport is also known for its traditional cuisine, so visitors pause here for home cooking classes with a local host or dining experiences in the old-school trattoria eateries.
