A beautiful location. The day was windy and the sea a little choppy so we thought we'd walk across the Isola Palmaria to have look at the beaches on the other side. We started out from the Locanda and the track started off well-kept and with signposts but after 15/20 mins we found the signposts to be a little confusing and the pathway became narrower and narrower with, in some places, sheer drops to one side with no kind of, even small, railing. After about 40 mins we arrived down on Pozzale beach (pebbles and rocks) which must be beautiful with a calm sea. But It was certainly a 10 min scramble to get down to it! So, to conclude this little experience, if you're interested in the beaches, take the boat or else be prepared for a bit of a hike, all be it through untouched Mediterranean scrub woodland which is beautiful in itself.

Some really amazing climbing routes here. Well worth a visit. Some of the 5s are a little polished but a great place to work on slightly overhanging 6s and 7s.

We had lunch and took a 2 mile hike through the park. Great views of the water on both sides. If this was the only hike I'd done in the area I'd rate it higher, but there are some other options available by ferry from the town

Precioso en general Porto Venere y a pesar de ser turístico, sus restaurantes no son especialmente caros, es muy bonita la capilla y sus alrededores en especial los arcos justo debajo de la misma en los que sacarte unas fotos increíbles con el mar y la costa de fondo. (Translated by Google) Porto Venere is beautiful in general and despite being touristy, its restaurants are not particularly expensive, the chapel and its surroundings are very beautiful, especially the arches just below it where you can take some incredible photos with the sea and the coast in the background .

Beautiful landscape - we cruised with the motor bike it's been awesome. Not to speed to enjoy the countryside. New impressions after every turn of the road. And there are lots of turns. So fun biking in a beautiful area and almost no traffic.

Best part of the the region! Quieter, calmer and stunning scenery! If you visit the area make this your priority! And the best way to travel is of course by boat from La Spezia!

What a beautiful parc. It’s absolutely worth visit it. The best way to visit it is by boat. The islands are super nice. Some very special history. There are companies where you can rent a boat to see the beautiful spots. I advice to take a local guide. They know the rich history of this area.

Wonderful Island, one day is not enough. Park Your car in Portovenere, take good shoes and backpack, hit the ferry, walk uphill and enjoy...!!!

Beautiful area!! If you have time, I’d highly recommend hiking from Riomaggiore to Portovenere. It was one of the most beautiful and interesting hikes in the area! Hiking down into Portovenere afforded you TONS of spectacular sceneries. There was also a cute cafe along the trail (before you hike down to Campiglia) where you could get coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, and various sweets. We went in early October and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. You can’t miss this area! If you get into Portovenere early enough, you can catch the ferry back! If you end up missing it, you can simply take the bus to La Spezia and catch the train back.

A life-changing experience. The weather was kind when we were there and the blue green sea lapped the jettisons in the bright sunshine. A wedding was taking place (by chance) in the beautiful little church overlooking the calm sea below. For those brief moments, I could have been viewing heaven and this stuff sticks with us. Since returning to normality and the bleak nature of everyday life, I have a new sanctuary in which to dwell. Beautiful.

If you are a naval or marine lover - this is a place for you! Otherwise is a good place to visit with even overwhelming number of things to see. You will find a exhibitions with naval arms, torpedos or port history. At the end you will find a great exhibition of ship statues (called “polene”). The museum is a bit old fashioned but worth visiting also with kids. It would be great if there would be a possibility to visit a shipyard nearby :).

Welcoming and informative staff, and a very interesting naval museum. Takes 1 to 2 hours max. Unfortunately a visit to the submarines and ships on water was not possible. We took a walk to the nearby port instead.

A fine museum for those interested in maritime history. I was particularly interested in the Marconi radio section. Disappointedly, much of the equipment is in need of expert cleaning. I'm sure there are enthusiastic radio historians in La Spezia who would be happy to do this for the museum. Marconi did a lot of work with the Italian Navy

My 8 year old son loves this museum - especially all the model ships. It has descriptions in both English and Italian. It's worth a 1-2 hour visit if you find yourself in La Spezia.

Great experience, full of history and interesting artifacts. My only concern are two points: 1. Few material and descriptions for English speakers 2. The overall state of the museum is a bit decadent I hope it will get better.

Or rather somewhere between 3 and 4 to be honest. The entrance fee was 5€ adult, 3€ child. On one hand the museum offers a wide variety of artefacts, models and memorabilia. I found some interesting details about Viribus Unitis warship and several deep diving pieces of equipment. On the other hand like others have mentioned - you need to either be fluent in Italian or (like me) a naval history nut to be able to navigate around all the curiosities.

Very good place where you can know how many types of Navi ships are there and all the different types of equipment used in navy are available kindly visit if you visit to la spezia

Entrance is 5€. Inside you can find lots of scaled models of different kind of boats. Full of descriptive tables, both in English and Italian. There is free toilet, no bar. It has 5 inside rooms and one garden to visit. The visit requires more or less 1 hour, no guide. FFP2 mask was required here.

The ship figure heads and model boats were great.

Small but so much stuff to watch. Very nice museum

Nice place to hand out with who you love for sunset

(Translated by Google) Lift bridge in the port, good condition, nice view (Original) Hebebrücke im Hafen, guter Zustand, schöne Aussicht

(Translated by Google) It is a bridge that allows you to go from the quay to the marina. The view of the different yachts is amazing. It is more this aspect that makes the bridge interesting because in itself it is not necessary to come and see the bridge itself. There are also fishing boats nearby. (Original) Il s’agit d’un pont qui permet de passer du quai à la marina. La vue sur les différents yachts est incroyable. C’est plus cet aspect qui rend le pont intéressant car en soit il n’est pas nécessaire de venir voir le pont lui-même. Il y a également des bateaux de pêche à proximité.

Breathtaking views 🤩 . Lovely place 💕

(Translated by Google) Beautiful modern structure that connects the Morin promenade to Porto Mirabello. Truly spectacular panorama at any time of day. (Original) Bella struttura moderna che collega la passeggiata Morin al Porto Mirabello. Panorama davvero spettacolare in ogni ora del giorno.

(Translated by Google) Nice pedestrian bridge that allows you to cross from the pier to the marina, it is in very good condition and at night it is well lit. The view of the boats and especially the luxury yachts is fantastic, especially at sunset.

Amazing view

(Translated by Google) The bridge that connects the port of La Spezia with the city center and Via Prione, beautiful and elegant, is somewhat of a symbol of the new city, visible from practically the entire port (Original) Il ponte che collega il porto di La spezia con il centro città e via Prione, bello ed elegante è un po' il simbolo della città nuova, visibile da praticamente tutto il porto

(Translated by Google) We find the Thaon di Revel bridge in La Spezia where the very famous Morin promenade located right on the seafront leads to the Thaon di Revel pedestrian bridge which was inaugurated in 2013, 11 years ago. This bridge directly connects the city center with the well-known Mirabello pleasure port... the structure of this bridge closely resembles the masts of sailing boats and a little also the skeleton of the hulls, and serves to give the inhabitants a nice piece of territory in this area, in fact the bridge connects both banks. The name of this bridge was dedicated to Admiral Revel who was also appointed Duke of the Sea by King Vittorio Emanuele III of Savoy. (Original) Ponte Thaon di Revel lo troviamo a La Spezia dove la famosissima passeggiata Morin situata proprio sul lungo mare conduce fino al ponte pedonale Thaon di Revel che fu inaugurato nel 2013 ossia 11 anni fa . Questo ponte mette direttamente in comunicazione il centro citta" con il conosciutissimo porto diportistico Mirabello ..la struttura di questo ponte somiglia molto agli alberi delle barche a vela e un po.anche all'ossatura degli scafi , e serve a restituire agli abitanti un bel pezzo di territorio di questa zona, difatti il ponte unisce entrambe le 2 sponde . IL nome di questo ponte è stato dedicato all'Ammiraglio Revel che fu anche nominato Duca del Mare ..dal Re" Vittorio Emanuele III di Savoia .

(Translated by Google) I recently had the chance to visit this magnificent suspension bridge and wanted to share my incredible experience with you. This bridge is a true marvel of engineering and natural beauty. As soon as I arrived, I was struck by the elegance of its imposing structure which harmoniously blends into the surrounding landscape. The sturdy cables and slender pillars create a dazzling scene that seems almost unreal. Walking across the bridge, I was captivated by the spectacular views unfolding before me. The majestic river, green mountains and lush vegetation combined to create a stunning backdrop. It was as if I had been transported to another world. The feeling of walking through the air, carried by this amazing structure, was both exhilarating and calming. The slight sway of the bridge added a touch of adventure and dynamism to this unique experience. Additionally, the bridge had multiple viewing platforms that offered breathtaking views. I was able to take incredible photos and soak in the natural beauty around me. It was truly a perfect place to relax, recharge and appreciate the grandeur of nature. I would also like to emphasize the safety and attention to detail of the bridge design. The strong, well-designed guardrails and impeccable maintenance gave me a feeling of confidence and peace of mind throughout my visit. Overall, my visit to this lovely suspension bridge was an unforgettable experience. It is an architectural masterpiece that blends harmoniously into its natural surroundings. If you have the opportunity to visit it, don't miss this unique opportunity to marvel and recharge your batteries in the heart of nature. (Original) J'ai récemment eu la chance de visiter ce magnifique pont suspendu et je voulais partager mon expérience incroyable avec vous. Ce pont est une véritable merveille d'ingénierie et de beauté naturelle. Dès mon arrivée, j'ai été frappé par l'élégance de sa structure imposante qui épouse harmonieusement le paysage environnant. Les câbles robustes et les piliers élancés créent une scène éblouissante qui semble presque irréelle. En marchant sur le pont, j'ai été captivé par les vues spectaculaires qui se déroulaient devant moi. La rivière majestueuse, les montagnes verdoyantes et la végétation luxuriante se sont combinées pour créer une toile de fond époustouflante. C'était comme si j'avais été transporté dans un autre monde. La sensation de marcher à travers les airs, porté par cette structure étonnante, était à la fois exaltante et apaisante. Le léger balancement du pont ajoutait une touche d'aventure et de dynamisme à cette expérience unique. De plus, le pont était doté de multiples plates-formes d'observation qui offraient des vues à couper le souffle. J'ai pu prendre des photos incroyables et m'imprégner de la beauté naturelle qui m'entourait. C'était vraiment un endroit parfait pour se détendre, se ressourcer et apprécier la grandeur de la nature. Je tiens également à souligner la sécurité et le souci du détail de la conception du pont. Les gardes-corps solides et bien conçus ainsi que son entretien impeccable m'ont procuré un sentiment de confiance et de tranquillité d'esprit tout au long de ma visite. Dans l'ensemble, ma visite de ce joli pont suspendu a été une expérience inoubliable. C'est un chef-d'œuvre architectural qui se fond harmonieusement dans son environnement naturel. Si vous avez l'occasion de le visiter, ne manquez pas de saisir cette opportunité unique de vous émerveiller et de vous ressourcer au cœur de la nature.

(Translated by Google) This pedestrian bridge has an atypical architecture and offers quite an interesting view. To do if you are in the area but not essential either. (Original) Ce pont piéton possède une architecture atypique et propose une vue assez intéressante. A faire si vous êtes dans le coin mais pas indispensable non plus.

(Translated by Google) While away for work I took the opportunity to take a stroll around La Spezia...who knows why the central part of the cities are always better kept...on the outskirts and in the "industrial" part there is always decay, lack of bins, abandoned vehicles etc. etc (Original) In trasferta per lavoro ho approfittato di fare un giretto per La Spezia...chissà perché la parte centrale delle città sono sempre meglio tenute...in periferia e nella parte "industriale " c'è sempre degrado, assenza di cestini,veicoli abbandonati ecc ecc

A pretty quick castle to visit but a nice view on La Spezia. Warm welcome from the staff, speaking French and English.

Very beautiful view, probably the best viewpoint of the town. the museum was only interesting if you enjoy archeological history, do talk to the local gentleman security guard as he was extremely knowledgeable and sort of acted as a tour guide and made it more interesting. Tickets cheaper at the door!

Iconic panoramic views . Definitely worth a visit if you are traveling to La Spezia (there are lift elevators also)

If the Castillo San George is in Italy, and he saved the Princess in Mont Blanc in Spain, then the history was the San George traveled from Italy to Spain and chanced to save the princess? 🤣

If you are interested in archeological artifacts. Nice views of town from the upper terrace of the castle. Use the town elevator and funicular to get there, very easy access. If you are 65+ ask for senior rate at the museum ticket office.

Nice, but not that wow, if u go hiking between Cinque terre u will have great panoramic views for free ;)

Great views some interesting archaeological bits from the roman time. But I think the stunning views from the top are the best part of the castle.

Visited with our children (6,4,1yo), not that special, there are other castles around that are more interested.

Small castle with a museum inside.nice view of the city on top of the terrace. 5,50 euros to see it

Suggested to visit. Euro3. 5 for platform and Euro5.5 for platform + Museum. Here you could have the most beautiful sence from the platform and also learn from the heritage of the museum. The most interesting thing is that we found the best/economic price for drink at the food/drink Machine here. 😁 Lovely !

Very nice viewpoints over the city of Spezia. Also a few good exhibits of artefacts . 5.5euro museum and terrace. You can choose only the terrace for 3€.

Nice medieval place in La Spezia. Castello is very interesting to visit. Very friendly hosts, telling more about the castle and the history.

Beautiful views of Portovenere and the ocean. $5 euros entrance. It's worth it, highly recommend.

Beautiful, with a wonderful view from the terrace. Not for people in wheel chairs.

Entire building is not that impressive when you look at it from the bottom but when you get inside and take a walk to the top you will enjoy it for sure. The view on the city, shipyard and sea which is closing horizon is outstanding! It's not that expansive to go there but for me it was the best place to see the city from the top. Definitely recommended for people who love top view as much as I do :)

(Translated by Google) One of the main streets of the city This is one of the busiest streets in the city. The street, completely pedestrian, extends from the public gardens of Via Chiodo to Piazza Garibaldi, near the central railway station. Here you can find many places and shops where you can go shopping. The area is always crowded, especially in the evening hours of the weekend, by tourists and young people from the area. It often happens that you come across initiatives and events while walking along the street. It is certainly one of the liveliest parts of the city of La Spezia. (Original) Una delle vie principali della città Questa è una delle vie più frequentate della città. La strada, totalmente pedonale, si estende dai giardini pubblici di Via Chiodo fino a Piazza Garibaldi, vicino alla stazione ferroviaria centrale.

Spesso capita di imbattersi in iniziative e manifestazioni percorrendo la via. Sicuramente è una delle parti più vive della città della Spezia.

Unusual collection. Lighting need to be improved on ground floor or maybe it's my old age. Enjoyed the Pieter Bruegel paintings.

Small collection with a few interesting miniatures and paintings. Temporary Exhibition of a single painting is the highlight. Overall, museum is of marginal interest, and little attendance. The organization leaves a lot to be desired: unbelievably the staff doesn't speak anything but Italian, not do they care to be of any assistance. The bookstore is a joke, without prices, so to have to take each article to the cashier and wait for a price, etc. Better experiences await outside.

What a wonderful museum that was worth every penny. The range of collections was amazing. There were beautiful texts on the ground floor, amazing artwork, lovely statues plus some incredible glass pieces and some other items. It was the highlight of my stay in La Spezia.

nice museum very clean not pricey at all, very nice artwork

a place to visit to learn the history of La spezia. hope it expands in the future

Splendid!

Staff a little frosty.
