Location & what to see

Alby Express Rooms is located in the historic heart of La Spezia, just steps from the fourteenth-century walls and a short distance from the seafront, in a lively area of bars and restaurants where period buildings coexist with the everyday life of a Ligurian port city.

La Spezia Centrale train station is just 300 metres away, a real advantage for those wanting to travel to the Cinque Terre or other Ligurian towns without a car. Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is about 65 km away, while the city centre with its museums is all within walking distance: Castello San Giorgio and the Amedeo Lia Museum are about 650 and 400 metres away, and the Technical Naval Museum a little over a kilometre.

Those staying here can dedicate their days to a mix of culture and sea: in summer the Persico and Cantun beaches, about 5 km away, offer clean water and cliffs, while in the cooler months the city is well suited to walks through Parco delle Clarisse and Viale Mazzini, as well as day trips to Portovenere and the Cinque Terre, easily accessible by train or boat from the port of La Spezia.

Terminus Café — Neighbourhood bar just steps away, handy for a quick breakfast 30 m
Castello San Giorgio — Medieval fortress with panoramic views over the Gulf of La Spezia 650 m
Amedeo Lia Museum — Collection of ancient art in a former convent in the historic centre 400 m
