Activities in Livorno

Livorno

The harbour city of Livorno is the gateway to Tuscany and thus the gateway to a landscape with endless expanse of cypresses, pines and small villas, that are the epitome of Italy, or rather, the country of longing. Immerse yourself in the narrow streets of this historic port city in the shadow of the medieval fortress, the Monumento the Quattro Mori and the Fortezza Nuova that embody the city’s glorious history. On the contrary, the culinary delights of Livorno are very much of the present and truly heavenly. Whether it’s fresh basil fragrant bruschetta on the promenade, the famous fish soup "Cantucci di Prato" or a freshly brewed cappuccino on the Terrazza Mascagni directly on the sea – there is nowhere else where Tuscany has tasted so authentic. Even for nature lovers, the city on the Tyrrhenian Sea has much to offer. After all, just a stone's throw from the centre is a panoramic road along the Romito cliff, where on a clear day, a breath-taking view of the Tuscan Archipelago the Elba, Capraia and Montecristo islands opens up.
