La Spezia - a special holiday in Italy

Tourists who choose to explore the stunning Ligurian coast usually choose Genoa, Lavento or La Spezia as their starting point, which we will take a closer look at today. As the second largest city in the region, it boasts excellent communication with the greatest attractions of Liguria. It also has a lot to offer its visitors. What to see during your stay in the city and the surrounding area? What dishes to order in a restaurant to taste real Ligurian cuisine? We invite you to read!. La Spezia is a typical port city, inhabited by less than 100,000 people. Life in it revolves around atmospheric taverns and pubs near the marina and seaside promenades, such as Banchina Thaon di Revel, where tourists walk, visiting fashionable boutiques and shops. La Spezia, although mainly known as an important railway junction, boasts a well-preserved old town. The historic center of the city stretches from the port to the main station, between which you can admire well-kept tenement houses and squares. The rich history of the city is worth discovering in baroque churches and medieval castles. If you get tired of the crowds and noise of the bustling city, you can start your journey around Liguria and its attractions from there. The most popular among them is undoubtedly the Cinque Terre, an extremely picturesque complex of five small towns, located on the hills flowing into the Ligurian Sea. A camping holiday in Italy will therefore be a great opportunity to see Monterosso, Vernazza, Riomaggiore, Corniglia and Manarola, all connected by a narrow scenic road. The nearby Portonovere, considered one of the most beautiful places on the west coast, deserves the attention of travelers. It is worth taking a walk around Piazza Della Marina, seeing the castle on a cliff overlooking the city and wandering among the streets lined with colorful tenement houses. At the end, it is worth leaving a visit to the small, but very luxurious Portofino, which is especially loved by movie stars and businessmen.
