We arrived here on the Freedom of the Seas cruise ship, but instead of going on a long excursion we chose to spend the day in La Spezia itself. It was a quiet day with walks, Castello di San Giorgio and nice views of the city and the port.<\/p><div class=\"sharethis-buttons\"><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"twitter\"><img

The castle dates back to the Middle Ages and was expanded and modified over several periods. Today it houses an archaeological museum with finds from La Spezia and the surrounding region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We climbed up to the castle via a long flight of stairs \u2013 only to discover afterwards that there was also a much more comfortable lift!

It can be reached by bus from La Spezia and, during parts of the year, by boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have plenty of time, you can also make excursions to Pisa and Florence in Tuscany.

The city is close to the border with Tuscany and is best known as an important port city and as a starting point for excursions to the Cinque Terre and Portovenere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is La Spezia known for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La Spezia is known for its large port and its location near some of Liguria&#039;s most popular destinations. Many visitors pass through the city on their way to the Cinque Terre, but La Spezia also has a city center with pedestrian streets, restaurants, museums, and the Castello di San Giorgio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is La Spezia worth a visit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, especially if you are in the area or coming here by cruise ship. La Spezia doesn&#039;t have the same wide range of attractions as many of Italy&#039;s more famous tourist cities, but it is great for a leisurely day of walking, Italian city life and views of the harbor. The city is also an excellent starting point for excursions in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is there to see and do in La Spezia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can stroll through the city center and along the harbor, visit the Castello di San Giorgio and enjoy the views over the city. La Spezia also has several museums and is a good starting point for boat trips and excursions to, among others, the Cinque Terre and Portovenere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time do you need in La Spezia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Half a day to a day is enough if you mainly want to discover La Spezia itself. If you want to use the city as a base for excursions to Cinque Terre, Portovenere and other places along the Ligurian coast, you can stay for several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you go to Cinque Terre from La Spezia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, La Spezia is one of the most common starting points for visiting the Cinque Terre. From La Spezia Centrale, trains run to the five famous villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it possible to go to Portovenere from La Spezia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Portovenere is located on the coast south of the Cinque Terre and can be reached from La Spezia by bus and, during parts of the year, by boat. This makes Portovenere a popular excursion destination from the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is La Spezia a cruise port?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, La Spezia is an important cruise port. Cruise ships use the city as a starting point for excursions to Cinque Terre, Pisa and Florence, among others. Of course, it is also possible to do as we did and stay and discover La Spezia at a slower pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you visit Pisa from La Spezia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, Pisa is close enough for a day trip from La Spezia and can be reached by train. For cruise passengers, it is important to plan your trip with plenty of time to get back to the ship on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you visit Florence from La Spezia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, it is possible to take a day trip to Florence from La Spezia, but the distance is considerably longer than to, for example, Cinque Terre and Portovenere. If you are visiting La Spezia during a cruise stop, it is therefore extra important to factor in travel times and margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is there to see near La Spezia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cinque Terre and Portovenere are the most famous excursion destinations, but the coastal town of Lerici and the Golfo dei Poeti are also worth discovering. To the south lies Tuscany with Pisa, Lucca and Florence, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"freed-3356545108\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_2 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><form method=\"post\" id=\"ft_newsletter_subscribe\" action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2017\/09\/en-dag-i-la-spezia-italien\/\" class=\"ft-newsletter\" data-ajax-url=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" data-trp-original-action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2017\/09\/en-dag-i-la-spezia-italien\/\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"stage\" value=\"subscribe\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prenumerera_pa_vart_nyhetsbrev\"><\/span>Subscribe to our newsletter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"form-field\" data-missing=\"This field is required.\" data-invalid=\"Please enter a valid email address.\">\n<label for=\"ft_newsletter_email\">Email address<\/label>\n<input id=\"ft_newsletter_email\" name=\"ft_newsletter_email\" type=\"email\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"Enter your email address\" aria-required=\"true\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<input class=\"signup button newsletter-meta-button\" type=\"submit\"  name=\"subscribe\" value=\"Subscribe\">\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -4200px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ft-newsletter-protect\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"98d0b92c63fae1c39c28d2024aa82be8e0ab74fe\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\"><\/div>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"trp-form-language\" value=\"en\"\/><\/form><\/div><div id=\"freed-2510605173\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_3 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 35px;\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"FREEDOMtravel Exit\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel.png\" alt=\"FREEDOMtravel Avslut\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-224x75.png 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-600x200.png 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-18x6.png 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-433x144.png 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skribent: Helena Bergstr\u00f6m Uppdaterad: Augusti 2026 | La Spezia \u00e4r en hamnstad i Ligurien i norra Italien och en vanlig utg\u00e5ngspunkt f\u00f6r resor till Cinque Terre, Portovenere, Pisa och Florens.
