La Spezia, Italy
Things to do & places to see
A quintessential Med town, and although the word picturesque is used a lot about the Italian Riviera, how else can you describe it? A beautifully manicured town centre, complete with pastel-coloured buildings that hug the cliffs while looking out across turquoise waters.
And just when you swore you'd never use the word picturesque again - you'll discover portovenere. Just a short boat trip away it is a great place for a relaxing stroll or a swim in the bay.
Tender boats ashore.
