Overview

Livorno is the, modern port, but the true prize is inland. You have a choice between two of the world's most iconic destinations. Head to Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, a city that is itself a living museum. Stand in the presence of Michelangelos *David*, walk the historic Ponte Vecchio bridge, and be awestruck by the sheer scale and beauty of Brunelleschis Duomo. Or, make your way to Pisas Field of Miracles (Campo dei Miracoli) to see the stunning, white-marble cathedral, baptistery, and, of course, the world-famous Leaning Tower.
