Route Overview: Nice to La Spezia
The transfer from Nice to La Spezia traces the full arc of the French and Italian Riviera — one of the most continuously spectacular stretches of Mediterranean coastline in the world, from the Promenade des Anglais to the Golfo dei Poeti.
Departing from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) or any Nice address, the route heads east on the A8 La Provençale through the Corniche territory above Monaco, past Menton and across the Pont Saint-Louis Franco-Italian border at Ventimiglia. The A10 Autostrada dei Fiori then carries the journey along the Riviera Ligure di Ponente through Bordighera, Sanremo, Imperia, Alassio, Albenga, Finale Ligure and Savona before the route climbs inland on the A26 and A7 through the Ligurian Apennines to Genova. From Genova, the A12 descends back to the Riviera Ligure di Levante through Rapallo, Chiavari and Sestri Levante before arriving at La Spezia.
La Spezia is a city of extraordinary strategic and cultural importance. It houses Italy’s largest naval base — the Arsenale Militare Marittimo, founded by Cavour in 1869 — and the Museo Tecnico Navale della Spezia, one of the finest naval museums in Europe. The city’s Castello di San Giorgio dominates the hillside above the Piazza del Bastione; the bustling Mercato Centrale on Via Paleocapa is one of Liguria’s finest covered food markets; and the waterfront Passeggiata Morin offers sweeping views across the Gulf to the Apuan Alps beyond.
As the primary gateway to the Cinque Terre, La Spezia’s central train station provides fast connections to all five UNESCO villages — Riomaggiore (7 minutes), Manarola (10 minutes), Corniglia (14 minutes), Vernazza (19 minutes) and Monterosso al Mare (26 minutes). The city also serves as the departure point for boat services to Portovenere and the Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto islands, and hosts a major cruise terminal in the Porto della Spezia serving Mediterranean itineraries.
The broader area we serve from this transfer includes Lerici, Sarzana, Portovenere, Levanto, Deiva Marina and all five Cinque Terre villages — all bookable from Nice with the same fixed-rate cross-border service.
