La Spezia - harbour, castle, cathedral, poets

What do you know about La Spezia? To be honest, before I went to Cinque Terre, I hadn´t heard much about it and trust me, I have traveled quite a lot in Italy. It is getting really hard to agree with my friends on some places where to go because I usually have been there already. If you plan on going to National Park Cinque Terre, I would suggest to get an accommodation right here instead of Cinque Terre (because of the prices of course).

A few facts:
- located in region Liguria, North of Italy
- close to Cinque Terre
- population: 100 000 
- harbour
- castle - Castello San Giorgio, established in 1262
- cathedral Cristo Re
- home of famous poets such as Shelley, Montale and Byron.























La Spezia is a nice stop. You can spend here nice afternoon - go for a walk, have a nice dinner and spend some time in the harbour (you can watch the sunset for instance).


Ciao
