Taking the train from La Spezia Centrale to Genoa
Thinking about taking the train from La Spezia Centrale to Genoa? The journey time ranges from 1 hour to 90 minutes, depending on which service you jump on. With around 27 trains every day, rail operator Trenitalia lays on a choice of high-speed and regional services.
Whether you're travelling on a Frecciabianca or Intercity train, you can look forward to plenty of luggage space and air-conditioning, which will be welcome if you're heading off on a hot summer's day. The 50 miles could be managed by car, but wouldn't you rather slide back in a reclining seat and watch the Ligurian coastline rolls past your window?
Genoa's railway station is located right on the waterfront, so sea-goers have speedy access to the passenger ferries of the old port and the harbour's yacht marinas. Alternatively, you might want to explore landmarks like the Lanterna (the city's old lighthouse) and retail destinations like the Galleria Mazzini. And if all that gives you an appetite, try some authentic Genoese pesto with one of the local varieties of pasta, or pick up some Genoa fruit cake for your future travels.
