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.

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.
