Its strategic location at the head of the Gulf of La Spezia makes it a thriving hub of military operations and commercial activities. Its exceptional harbours serve not only as the city's beating heart but also mark it as a principal Italian Navy base.

La Spezia is richly endowed with a plethora of museums, from the Diocesan Museum to Amedeo Lia Museum, and not forgetting the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (CAMeC). Also, traces of its significant past, dating back to prehistoric times, are palpably evident throughout the city.

The dynamic city boasts a robust public transportation system expertly managed by ATC La Spezia. Not to mention, it's a significant train junction, and a bustling seaside resort.

When to visit La Spezia

With its characteristic Mediterranean charm, La Spezia offers an engaging experience, regardless of when you visit. However, for the best weather, consider scheduling your trip between April and November. The warmest months, ideal for basking on the beaches or enjoying the range of outdoor activities the region offers, are July and August.

Winter harbours its own charm, with considerably fewer crowds, though the temperatures in January and February might be a touch on the cold side for some. The city does see more rain than usual in November and December, but that's an excellent chance to explore its indoor attractions and cosy up in traditional Italian trattorias. Swim enthusiasts, however, might favour the period from June through September when the sea temperatures are just right.
