You cannot travel all the way to Portovenere by train, as there is no railway station in this part of the coast. If you are travelling by train, you will need to get off at La Spezia and then take a bus to Portovenere or hire a car. Alternatively, you can take a ferry from La Spezia harbour and cross the gulf to Portovenere.<\/p>\r\n
