If your cruise docks in La Spezia and you want to visit the cradle of the Renaissance, a day trip to Florence is a must on your Mediterranean cruise!

Florence Shore Day Trip

Upon disembarking your cruise ship at the cruise terminal in La Spezia, you will take the free shuttle bus to Largo Michelle Fiorillo. From there, a bus will transport you on a 2-hour journey to Florence. Florence, the capital of Tuscany and known for its rich history, is a key highlight in Italy.

At Piazzale Montelungo, you will have 4.5 hours of free time to explore the historic center, which features numerous churches, markets, and artworks.

You will visit notable landmarks such as the Duomo and Brunelleschi's dome, Giotto's bell tower, Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio, the San Lorenzo market, and the Ponte Vecchio. This area represents a peak period of artistic and cultural achievement.

This is also an opportunity to enjoy traditional Florentine cuisine, such as a typical panino al lampredotto from street vendors or a bistecca alla fiorentina in a restaurant.

Finally, you will reconvene at the station for the return trip to La Spezia, arriving at the cruise terminal 8 hours after the start of the day trip.
