LA SPEZIA | Cinque Terre Riviera

LA SPEZIA

La Spezia is the second largest city in the Liguria region, after Genoa. Located roughly midway between Genoa and Pisa, on the Ligurian Sea, it is one of the main Italian military and commercial harbours and a major Italian Navy base. A popular seaside resort, it is also a significant railway junction, and is notable for its museums, for the Palio del Golfo rowing race, and for railway and boat links with the Cinque Terre.

Its town centre, mostly pedestrian, is full of good quality restaurants, pizzerias and pubs with excellent food and drinks proposals.
