La Spezia to Florence

[BIGJAN]

Have booked Harmony of the Seas for next September and the ship is docking in La Spezia instead of Livorno. Last time we were in Livorno we did the ships tour Florence on your own. I have had a look and the trips to Florence with RC are with a guide. Much prefer to do our own thing. How easy is it to travel to Florence from La Spezia on your own?

It is too far for us. We did it once using a ship tour....expensive. We would not do it again because of the distance. A few ship tours were late coming back, ours was just about in time.

 

Next time we would go to Cinque Terre instead from La Spezia .

Its a 2 hour 15 minute trip each way La Spezia Centrale - Pisa Centrale - Firenze SMN .

 

Maximize your time seeing NOT travelling . Do the Cinque Terre by train from La Spezia Centrale . Nearest village is Riomaggiore 10 mins travel and furthest Monterosso el Mare is 30 mins from La Spezia. Alternatively visit Pisa which is an hour by train from La Spezia.

 

Pompei is visited from Napoli . Take the Circumvusia private train from separate platforms downstairs at Napoli Centrale station in the direction of Sorrento and alight at Pompei Scavi NOT Pompei .
