La Spezia has served as a main base of operations for the Italian Navy for many years, but has also recently grown into a booming commercial port and vacation destination. Snorkeling, scuba diving and sea gazing are three popular ways to discover the underwater gems of La Spezia's marine heritage. When you travel to this region, known to be the cradle of the Italian Renaissance, you are sure to find art, adventure, culture, nature and history on impressive display. One of the best ways to explore La Spezia is by a rental car in Italy. Auto Europe offers price match guarantees, convenient pick-up locations throughout the city and a large selection of rental cars in Italy to help make planning your trip both cost effective and hassle free.
Steep cliffs, dense forest, romantic coves and picturesque beaches captivate visitors and the quaint seaside villages around La Spezia provide travelers with truly unspoiled delights for individuals looking for a change of pace. Drive your rental car to one of the most stunning regions in Italy: the Cinque Terre, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and uncover its treasures of art and nature. Every summer, whales, dolphins and other sea creatures gather in the Cetacean Sanctuary near the Cinque Terre. Take your family on a whale watching excursion and get to know these gentle giants better, learn the rules of conduct and see conservation efforts in progress. Later in the day, park your car and take a walk along the promenade. See panoramic views of the entire bay, with the Alpi Apuane dominate the view. For dinner, enjoy a glass of wine and come to appreciate the ancient tradition of wine-making. The Luni, Levanto and Cinque Terre wines are simple, yet flavorful and pair nicely with La Spezia's local cuisine. For more about getting around safely in Italy, visit our driving information page.
