From Genoa to La Spezia, the train is one of the best ways to travel. Once you reach La Spezia Centrale station, you're sure not to run out of things to do or see. We recommend a stroll along the seafront: the port area adjacent to the Centro Storico and Porto Mirabello are wonderful places to stroll and enjoy the good weather. Opposite the waterfront is the Costantino Morin Promenade, which is lined with trees and offers beautiful views of the harbor. Not to be missed is the Naval Technical Museum.  This is one of the most important naval museums in all of Italy and is a truly fascinating place to visit, for adults and children alike. Located west of Porto Mirabello and the waterfront, this museum is housed inside a large building and contains some fantastic artifacts and exhibits. The primary goal of the museum is to educate people about the technical aspects of the Italian naval forces and their equipment. You can find a myriad of fantastic objects such as cannons, diving suits, model ships, and even warship control panels. If you wander into the heart of the city, looking for some historic buildings, don't miss the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta. Finally, we recommend visiting St. George's Castle. This castle is one of the main landmarks of La Spezia and has stood for hundreds of years. Originally part of the city's network of defensive fortifications, the castle was built in the 13th century by Nicolò Fieschi. It stands on the winding Via XXVII Marzo and has a typical square plan with four diagonal watchtowers. A section of the original wall is also still standing and provides an archway to the main street.
