La Spezia
Information & Tips about La Spezia:
The town of La Spezia lies in a peculiar, and very suggestive, position: it is in a big inlet on the Ligurian Sea not so far from other Ligurian seaside centres that are renowned all over the world, such as Cinque Terre. This is one of the reasons why La Spezia is chosen by thousands of Italian and foreign tourists as their holiday destination. The territory of La Spezia offers a great variety of tourist options, ranging from the wild nature to cultural proposals, from seaside resorts to its important wine and food tradition so that it can meet any kind of need. The sea is surely one of the main attraction: from La Spezia many ferryboats and motor vessels leave to bring tourists to the most beautiful destination in the surroundings, such as Cinque terre, Portovenere and Lerici.
However, those who prefer the mountain to the sea won't be disappointed: the villages in the near valley of Vara have a strong tourist vocation and they are very appreciated for their natural beauties. Moreover, they offer the chance to do several activities, from trekking to classical excursions, as well as walking, riding or biking. In the river Vara you can also go fishing, canoeing and rafting.
The city centre of La Spezia is undoubtedly worth visiting; in the proximity of Via del Priore you can also find many shops, from the big names in the fashion world to the local craftsmen's studios. At night, you can have a walk on the promenade, stopping on the seats of the city gardens. Finally, there are many premises where you can spend your night together with your friends: pubs, night clubs, discos, where everybody can have good time.
