🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →La Spezia Centrale station (bus stop 'Stazione FS') → Hotel Stella (stop 'Via Fiume/Cavour')
💡 Hardly necessary — it’s a 500m walk. But if you have heavy bags, single tickets (biglietto corsa singola) are sold at the tabacchi inside the station. Validate it in the machine onboard; the fine is €60.
Pisa Airport bus stop (outside arrivals) → La Spezia bus station
💡 Book online in advance (€8–12) for the cheapest fare. The bus drops you at Piazza Brin, a 10-min walk to the hotel — cut through the market hall if it’s open. Luggage goes in the hold, no weight limit issues.
Pisa Airport (platform at station ground level) → La Spezia Centrale (then 5-min walk to Hotel Stella)
💡 Buy the Pisa Mover ticket (€2.70, cash only at the airport machine) to reach Pisa Centrale, then a regional train to La Spezia. Avoid the Intercity — it costs triple and barely saves time. The hotel is a block from the station, turn left on Via Fiume.
Pisa International Airport (PSA) → Hotel Stella, La Spezia
💡 Book a shared transfer via ShuttleDirect or getDriver for around €50 per person. A standard taxi from the rank costs more, but always confirm the fixed price before you set off — drivers often add a surcharge after 10pm.

Top Attractions in La Spezia
💡 It's on a small lane off Via del Prione. Look for the bell tower poking above the drying laundry. Combo walk: visit here, then head up the steps to the castle.
💡 Take coffee at Bar Il Molo on the corner – they do a decent espresso for €1.20. Best light for photos is early morning before the cruise crowds appear.
💡 Take the ferry from La Spezia to Porto Venere (cheap, runs regularly) then walk back along the coastal trail. It's about 6km, decently marked, and saves you backtracking.
💡 Walk up via the Salita della Cittadella—steep but cuter than the road. Skip the museum if you're cash-strapped; the ramparts and view alone justify the ticket.
💡 Photography is partly restricted inside, but the outdoor collection of anchors and propellers is fair game. Go on a weekday morning to avoid school groups.
