In a nutshell
Anyone sick of crowded touristy Tuscan cities...Livorno is for you.
4 Reviews Further along the coast from the Scoglio della Regina and a modern day "beach" complex, the Terrazza Mascagni sprouts out from a patch of wasteground, and at first seems underwhelming. But, as it turns the corner, the checkboard terrace suddenly becomes impressive. Behind it, there is a park with...
1 Review The most impressive square in Livorno is actually a sort of bridge over the main canal. It seems far too large for a place like Livorno, far too grand...and very empty. Two larger than life statues face off each other across the length of this huge piazza, but I forget who they are... One one side,...
2 Reviews Livorno's harbourfront is a picturesque place, with all the posh yachts at one end, and the smaller dowdier fishing boats shoved up by the old fort. Along the waterfront is a large monument called the Quattro Mori, with a statue of a Grand Duke surrounded by four prisoners in chains.
2 Reviews sonnino beach is another place where young people go to relax, party and enjoy life.. i'm sure u know what I mean it's OVER CROWDED during the summer.. if u wanna do something like locals do, don't miss Sonnino beach then!
2 Reviews Once a grand fort with its impressive red brick walls surrounded by canals, is now little more than an overgrown park. Free to enter, the place is now overrun with cats...and like most cat colonies around the world, this one has its own eccentric cat lady who shuffles in to feed them. Aside from...
1 Review This is a rocky beach where i sometimes go to eat a sandwich in the evening during the summer or spring it's pretty relaxing, there are paths all along these little bays where u can walk or run, it's just 5 minutes from downtown and 5 from where i live, so pretty good location.
2 Reviews Walking towards the seafront, the first place you come to is the Scoglio della Regina, the Queen's bathhouse, a dilapidated old building hanging over the sea at the end of a pier. I suppose these bathhouses must have been popular at some point, allowing bathers to dip in privacy, but unfortunately...
1 Review Piazza Grande. At the heart of the old city, this piazza was entirely rebuilt after the bombardment of 1943. In the piazza stands the Duomo (16th to 18th centuries), which was rebuilt after the Second World War along its original lines. Within there are paintings by Iacopo Ligozzi, Passignano, and...

1 Review and 7 Opinions This is a charming old fashioned Italian Hotel, tucked away from the main road. Not modern or...

Arriving by Cruise Ship? Rent a Car at the Dock!
bpwarne Says: Sifracar, a local franchise of Hertz, will be the easiest if not the most economical way to get from the port of Livorno to Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence or any one of a number or combination of towns in Tuscany. they will be waiting on the dock, immediately...
Renatl car from Croatia to Italy
niksa00 Says: Last summer we gone to Croatia and Italy. After Dubrovnik (Croatia) and Split the pest place on this travel was Livorno. At Dubrovnik Airport we rented a car at Kompas Rent a Car (www.kompasrent.hr) and we returned it in Venice airport. We had Renault Clio. Very nice car for...
don't miss Ponce alla livornese
hivaoa1 Says: this is our typical drink during winter at night, best place to have it is at Bar Civili, pretty close to the train stationamazingit's made with espresso, rum and a little piece of lemon skin inside (sugar of course)i could drink 10 of these hahaha
Azhut Says: Infos from the civic siteNella piazza Micheli, antistante la Vecchia Darsena, sorge il monumento in onore di Ferdinando dei Medici, più noto come dei "Quattro Mori". La statua, in marmo, raffigurante il granduca in uniforme di Gran Maestro dei Cavalieri di S. Stefano (ordine...
Where the really crazy ones hang out
hivaoa1 Says: This is not a joke, i live on a hill, pretty nice place, close to the beach, but not far from where i live there's a mental kind of hospital, so sometimes i meet weird and crazy people when i go jogging hahahayou don't wanna walk around there at night alone.. you never know
Don't go to eat at "Il Cibaino"
traveller473 Says: Livorno has plenty of restaurants where the food is good and inexpensive, but one place to avoid 100% is "Il Cibaino". First of all, they don't have a menu with prices - you just have to listen and guess which food might be ok. No idea of how much you are gonna spend. I went...
hivaoa1 Says: for you little girls... don't fall for this guy.. he is a public danger, as we say in Livorno... un periolo pubblico.. ir ghiando...just kidding.. but his fave hobby is breaking girls' hearts... well, he calls me "zietta" (auntie)... he is nice, but beware of his seductive...
hivaoa1 Says: Vada beach is beautiful also during the winter, my Spanish friend calls it El Caribe Toscano... well, it looks pretty much like that...you can go surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing even during winter
hivaoa1 Says: Quattro Mori is the most popular statue in Livorno, in front of the Porto Mediceo. The monument is composed of a marble statue of Grand Duke Ferdinando II and four bronze statues depicting chained prisoners. The bodies of the four black guys look like they are moving...
Pisa and or Florence from Livorno
TonyH60 Says: Well, it's possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. You don't have a full 12 hours, you've got to disembark, and u need to allow some buffer time getting back. No fun being left behind! The best train station in Pisa for the Leaning Tower complex is not the main central one,...

Livorno is a town that doesn't give a damn. Great!
