La Spezia in two days: an itinerary that allows for where you will actually go
Almost nobody spends two days in La Spezia: they spend them in the Cinque Terre and around the gulf, sleeping here. An honest itinerary starts from that.

La Spezia with Kids: The Advantage Is That It’s Not a Village

Almost everything worth seeing in La Spezia is along a pedestrian street, or just above it. This is the advantage of a city built by design rather than grown randomly.
