Here’s an overview of your tour
What is Livorno? Many people know Livorno as the Tuscany Coast harbor, where their cruise boat stops so they can visit Florence, Pisa or Lucca, but if you decide to stay here for the day, you can discover this little jewel, born as an open city to other religions and foreign cultures thanks to the Medici family.
It is impressive how th the Jewish, the Greek. the English ways of life and cultures (just to name some of the communities that still live in the city) could have worked out together and you can see these contributions still nowasays.
Pick me as your local guide and during my private tour, you will be surprised by Livorno's history, architecture, flavors, food traditions, and colors.
We will meet at the shuttle bus dropping point in Piazza del Municipio (when you arrive at the harbor there is a shuttle bus taking you there) and we will walk around the city downtown with its highlights, (some of them only from the outside), having a good Italian coffee or breakfast and a surprise little food tasting (it depends on the day you will take your visit).
We will see the historical district of "La Venezia", where this city was born with its channels, the "Quattro Mori" statue, symbol of the city. . . And we will end our tour at the local "Mercato Centrale", our local food market, a relaxed way to enjoy the city.
This tour is not available on Sundays because the local Food Market is closed.
As this is an independent day trip you will need to organize transportation yourself. Don’t worry, it is really easy to do!
From Livorno cruise ships' port: there is a shuttle bus service, which drops off and picks up in Via Cogorano, alongside Piazza del Municipio.
