This private shore excursion from the port of La Spezia is perfect for those seeking a shorter touring day, reasonable driving times, and less-crowded destinations. Both Lucca and Lerici are fantastic family-friendly places but they are also ideal for active adults.
Lucca is best-known for the amazing ancient wall that still encircles the city, the top of which has been transformed into a beautiful pedestrian promenade shaded by graceful plane trees. Go for a leisurely stroll or rent a bike and cruise the wall in style! If you were thinking about going to Florence but all the driving from La Spezia didn’t sound like such a good time, Lucca is a great substitute.
Lerici is a brilliant alternative to the Cinque Terre in high season. Set on the same stretch of stunning Ligurian coastline, Lerici is an optimal place to enjoy the seaside, go for a swim, visit the Medieval castle that inspired Mary Shelley as she was writing Frankenstein, and have a refreshment or lunch in the piazza, all while avoiding the crazy crowds of the Cinque Terre.
