Things to do

Livorno is a leading port of call for cruise liners, with about 500 landings a year (800,000 passengers). In addition to cruise tourism, Livorno is the point of departure and arrival for the main islands and ports of the Mediterranean.

The main companies covering these routes are Navarma, Toremar, Moby Lines, Corsica ferries and Sardinia ferries.

During your stay in Livorno do not miss a visit to the typical “Venezia” quarter, which is criss-crossed by saltwater canals and is situated in the heart of the old part of Livorno. The Venezia district is the most charming part of the city.

It was conceived in the 17th century as an island crossed by bridges and canals, which survive to this day, making it similar to the real Venice. In the 18th century it attracted wealthy foreign merchants.

Thanks to its original appearance, the quarter has numerous characteristic pubs and restaurants, and in early August it hosts the “Effetto Venezia” event.

Another highlight of the city is the marvellous seafront promenade, built in the early 20th century with spectacular liberty buildings, which continue to attract the interest of architects, town planners or just lovers of beauty.

The food is good in Livorno… Fish dishes in particular, even though the influence of inland areas means that restaurants also offer typical country dishes, such as ribollita (a type of vegetable soup), “land” soups and wild boar meat, all cooked with the extraordinary Tuscan olive oil. We suggest the following restaurants to try the best of Livorno’s cuisine: Ristorante Motorino, Cantina Senese, Angelo d’oro
