Hey guys!
After our Cinque Terre adventure we made a stop in La Spezia, which is a port city a short train ride away. We actually came through La Spezia on our way in to the Cinque Terre, but all we did was transfer trains, so we didn’t get out and explore at all.
La Spezia was an interesting city. There wasn’t a whole lot to see. After we checked in to our AirBnB (click here for details), we walked down to the harbor. We walked through a big park on our way there, and then over a bridge to the harbor where we had a pretty nice view of the city and the water as well.
On our way back to our apartment, we walked down a long pedestrian street with lots of shopping and cafes. We did a bit of shopping, but not much since my foot was really bothering me. We did stop at a small cheese and prosciutto shop and got a couple of meats and cheeses and a bottle of wine, which we took back to the apartment and ate while playing a couple of card games.
That night we went to a cute little restaurant for dinner and I had my least favorite meal of the trip. It was spaghetti noodles with chili flakes and some other weird spicy seasoning that was just not my fav.
The next morning we left our apartment pretty early because we were really anxious to get to Florence. All in all, La Spezia was not my favorite city to visit, and I wouldn’t go back for any kind of tourist activities, I would just go through there on my way in/out of the Cinque Terre 🙂 The best part about La Spezia though was the AirBnB that we stayed at, it was really nice and the host was great, so I would definitely recommend staying there if you ever find yourself in La Spezia!
