Genova to La Spezia Map

Plan your trip between Genova and La Spezia on the Tyrrhenian railway line. The route follows the coast through stations such as Camogli, Santa Margherita Ligure-Portofino, and Levanto. The tracks pass through numerous tunnels and across cliffs, offering glimpses of the Mediterranean Sea and the Italian Riviera landscape. This line connects the regional capital Genova with the eastern border of the Liguria region at La Spezia.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

Rail travel along the Ligurian coast is faster than driving or taking a bus due to the mountainous terrain and narrow coastal roads. Trains run directly between city centers, avoiding the traffic of the A12 motorway. There are no direct flights between these cities as the distance is short, making the train the most time-efficient and logical choice for this journey.
