Things to do & places to see

From Livorno, you can head on to explore Florence - the capital of culture. You'll be overwhelmed by the home of the Renaissance and its sheer beauty; the buildings, statues and art, including Michelangelo's David. And how could you miss the opportunity to see Pisa and the Leaning Tower.

Livorno itself is an interesting town designed in the 16th century, and the Venice district is definitely worth a visit. The town has many canals and the fortified town walls confirm its long history.

The ship is moored in port.

Boat Ride in Livorno

A cruise along the Royal Canal is a lovely way to see Livorno.The route covers several centuries of Livorno's history and will take passengers through one of the most colourful districts called 'New Venice', which is a labyrinth of canals, waterways and bridges. Livorno was founded in 1577 by the edici Family who became interested in the area after Pisa's harbour silted up. Its foundation was created by the imagination of a famous architect, Bernardo Buontalenti, who was employed to build a modern city. It was pentagon shaped, built around a canal and came to be an impregnable town. The boat ride will take you to see and admire The New Venice quarter, the Republic Square, Modigliani's Bridge, the Central Market, the Dutch Church, the Lighthouse and the Four Moors. Finally after docking back at the Old Fortress your guide will take you around and show you the hidden corners of this ancient town.
