Fortezza vecchio, fortezza nuovo,

Grande porto, piccoli canali......

Thanks, Google Translate. "Old fort, new fort, big port, little canals" just didn't have any pizzazz. The above image is the Piazza della Repubblica and a piccoli canale.

Livorno is the third largest port in Italy, so the area near the cruise port is very commercial. Once away from the port, however, and you will find a very pretty town with an interesting history. Livorno was a village until the 1500's, when the Medici family developed it as the port for Florence and Pisa. It was known for religious tolerance, and a merchant class of Jewish, British, Dutch-German and other Europeans set up 'nations', areas of different cultures. Livorno was bombed heavily in WWII, but you can still find remnants of this, especially in the churches as you will find a Jewish Synagogue, Protestant and Anglican churches and Greek Orthodox as well as Roman Catholic.

The cruise port is in an industrial area, but there is a good shuttle service that takes you to Via Cogorano in the center of the town.

I suggest that you do this walking tour and a boat tour through the canals. This will give you a very pleasant day in port!

Step 1 - Shuttle stop to the Four Moors

The cruise port shuttle service takes you to Via Cogorano. Walk south from the bus stop to the square and the Cathedral of San Francesco, also called the Duomo. The rounded arches on the front were designed by Inigo Jones, the British architect. It is a charming church with some famous paintings.

livorno boat trip

     1. Walk back to the street in front of the church.

     2. Turn right and walk to the waterfront.

     3. Turn right at the statue.

Facing the church, walk to your right down Via Grande. This is the main shopping street in Livorno, and has the porticos on both sides of the street, good for shopping on an inclement day.

When you come to the waterfront street, turn right again. Ahead of you is the most famous statue in Livorno - Monumento Dei Quattro Mori (Monument of the Four Moors). Grand Duke Ferdinand I stands above the four chained prisoners, celebrating his victory over the Ottomans.

(Legend has it, that if you stand where you can see the noses of all four prisoners it brings good luck. There is a white brick on the surrounding walkway to show you exactly where to stand....)

livorno boat trip

Across the street from the statue you can catch the boat tour. See the website - Livorno by Boat for the times and prices. At the time of this writing, the tours leave at 11:15, 12:15, 3:15, 4:15 and 5:15. As the number of people on the boat is limited, it might be good to pre-order tickets from the website. The boat tour takes one hour. You can also catch the boat tours at the north end of Piazza della Rebubblica.

Step 2 - The Four Moors to the Fortezza Vecchio

     1. Walk on the waterfront side of the street.

     2. Go out on the viewing area to see the old fort.

     3. Walk to the end of the viewing area.

In the 16th century, ocean access to Pisa and Florence on the Arno River was poor as the mouth of the river was shallow and silted.  Cosimo I de'Medici had a new canal built from Pisa to Livorno, as Livorno had a good ocean port, and then ships could go up river as far as Florence. To protect the entrance, the Fortezza Vecchio (old fort) was built. It contains part of an older fort and an 11th century tower called the Matilda Tower, which has been repaired.

Step 3   - Fortezza Vecchio to Church of Santa Caterina

Chiesa_Santa_Caterina,_Livorno.jpg

     1. Walk down the stairs at the end of the viewing area.

     2. Walk along the canal to the first bridge and cross it.

     3. Turn right and continue to walk along the canal to the      church of Church of Santa Caterina.

When the viewing area ends, there are steps down under the street to the canal level. Follow the path by the canal to the first bridge, and cross it. Turn right and follow the canal path around the corner to the baroque Church of Santa Caterina.

We are now in the  "New Venice" district, the Quartiere Venezia. Houses of rich merchants and warehouses were build along the canals, for easy access.

livorno boat trip

The Church of Santa Caterina was opened in 1753, but oddly enough, the facade is still not complete. The lantern tower is a later addition.

It is not what it seems from the outside! The church is octagonal, with a dome copied from Rome's Pantheon. Each of the eight sides have arches, some leading to chapels. There is some beautiful art, and the inside of the church is very impressive.

Step 4   - Church of Santa Caterina to Fortezza Nuovo

livorno boat trip

     1. Cross the bridge.

     2. Turn left and follow the canal.

     3. Cross the stone bridge to enter the fort.

The Fortezza Nuovo was built at the end of the 16th century as part of the much larger city fortifications. By the end of the 17th century, much of the larger fortifications were dismantled, leaving the 'new' fort.

Since then it hasn't been needed for protection, and has been used in many ways. The structures were severely destroyed by WWII bombings and more recently the fort has been made into a park. There is only the one entrance, through a dark tunnel - originally there was a drawbridge. Have a look! There isn't much left of the original fort, and the ruins are near the entrance.

Step 5   - The Fortezza Nuovo to the Piazza della Repubblica

     1. Cross the bridge leaving the fort.

     3. Cross the first bridge.

     4. Turn left along the canal to the piazza.

livorno boat trip

The  Piazza della Repubblica is a large square. There are two important sculptures - at the north end of the square is the Monument to Leopoldo II of Tuscany , and at the south end is the figure of his father, Grand Duke  Ferdinando III of Tuscany, photo below.

The square hosts several large events and concerts during the year.

The square is actually an enormous bridge, as the canal runs under the length of it.

Step 6   - The Piazza della Repubblica to the Mercato Centrale

     1. Walk down the side of the square.

     2. Turn right on Via Biontalenti.

     3. Walk to the market.

     4. Turn right at end of market building.

Walk down the side of the  Piazza della Repubblica to about even with the statue of Ferdinand (above). Turn right on Via Biontalenti - the street name is on the wall of the corner building. The market is in the third block.

livorno boat trip

This market is one of the largest covered markets in Italy. It is designed with a French feel, and the building itself is spectacular. There are lots of vendors with great food for your lunch, and Italian markets are always fun, with noise and good-natured bargaining. There are 34 shops and over 200 different stalls that sell meat, poultry, eggs, ham, cheese, bread, wine and lots more. The markets open early in the morning and close early in the afternoon, usually about 1:30 p.m.

The fruit and vegetable market is outdoors. Walk to the end of the market building and turn right for two short blocks. This is great for photography with the beautiful colors. 

In Italy, people shop each day so the food is as fresh as possible. The customers are familiar with the vendors and enjoy noisy bargaining.

Step 7   - The Mercato Centrale to shuttle stop

     1. Walk back to the Mercato Centrale.

     2. Turn right and walk three blocks.

     3. Turn right to see the Synagogue.

     4. Walk ahead through arch and turn right.

     5. Turn left to the shuttle stop.

Now we will see the Synagogue, and to see it properly from all angles, walk back to the indoor market and turn right. Follow that street around until you come to this marvelous building. Turn to walk up beside it to see the different aspects. Then walk ahead through an arch and turn right to the Cathedral of San Francesco and left to the shuttle stop two blocks ahead.

livorno boat trip

This walk is approximately three km. or 2 miles. 

If you walk the streets of Livorno and take the boat tour through the canals, it will give you an interesting day.

  • Tuscany Little Venice

Description

We will guide you through an enchanting tour of the most characteristic quarter of Livorno , Venezia Nuova ( New Venice ), famous for its canals, arching bridges, and ornate merchant palaces. A unique place, rich in history and fascinating anecdotes, built upon the water by Venetian engineers carrying out a Medicean dream.

Constructed over the waters north of Livorno between 1629 an 1700, the quarter was full of rich merchant houses of every foreign nation in cosmopolitan Livorno . These were the same merchants who petitioned the Grand duke to grant them space to construct palaces and warehouses in order to furnish the port, which was already becoming one of the most important in the Mediterranean, with all its provisions.

Protected from the west and east by its two Medicean fortresses , we will visit the sector of the city which became the coffer of the riches of all the world which arrived in Tuscany. It is a unique neighborhood, and was much admired by intelligentsia and aristocrats on their Grand Tours . Today it retains the atmosphere of that era, with its canals, shops and cellars on the water, and an architectural system tailor-made for commerce. Gliding along the canals, we will explore the ancient artisanal traditions of the boatmen, sailors, barrel-makers, and porters who lived, worked, and traded secrets in Little Venice . You’ll become acquainted with its lively and charismatic inhabitants, among whom were smugglers and pirates in the pay of the Grand dukes who rubbed shoulders with the rich merchants and noblemen whose grand palaces often hosted members of the European aristocracy . 

We will admire the unusual architecture of an exemplary 18 th century merchant palace under the shadow of the majestic octagonal dome of the church of Saint Catherine of Siena , which for three centuries has graced the Livornese skyline. We will conclude our tour at the entrance of the New Fortress of Livorno, an island completely surrounded by the city’s principal moat and canal, the Fosso Reale, and last remnant of the five original bulwarks of this fortified city, the famous pentagon of Bernardo Buontalenti .

Length: approximately 1 hour*

Cost : 120 €

* Indicates the duration of a standard tour, which can be shortened or lengthened according to your wishes and compatibility with the type of excursion.

Note: To save you valuable time, we plan to purchase skip-the-line tickets in advance for the boat and the train. During the peak season, waiting in line for 30-40 minutes is a real possibility. To avoid it, your guide will have the tickets ready for you upon arrival, and you’ll need to reimburse

The best italian gelato, by Gori Gelato, Rome

Italian gelato

The best Italian gelato is made of very genuine seasonal ingredients with a specific knowledge of the technique of preparation developed in Italy for centuries. A good gelato is a good alternative of a proper meal according to the opinion of the best nutritionists.

The real size of an Italian espresso

Caffè espresso

The most common coffee ordered at Italian bars is espresso. Its quantity is very small and it is supposed to be nicely creamy on the top. Many Italians sip it quickly while standing at a bar, so not sitting or longly debating around it.

In our tour we like showing you places off the beaten track and introducing you to Tuscan people with their personal stories, careers and characters. You will have one of our guides with your party during the whole tour. Please, see below all the guides who can be with you. During this experience you can also meet some of the Tuscan friends involved in the events. Please, see below which friends you are likely to encounter.

DETAILS: CINQUE TERRE from Livorno

Today, in the midst of the throng of shops, restaurants and tourists, it's hard to imagine the Cinque Terre (which means "Five Lands") as sleepy fishing villages. The old-world charm can still be felt, however, and the stunning Ligurian coastline hasn't changed. Although farming has largely been replaced by tourism, excellent white wine is still produced in the area, as evidenced by the terraced vineyards. If you're lucky you may see one of the ingenious little trams used to harvest the grapes. It's no surprise that the Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre is a Unesco World Environmental and Cultural Heritage site. It's also a a Nature Sanctuary, with many delightful trails. If you love to hike we have an itinerary that includes the trail from Vernazza to Corniglia . We recommend you take the ferry to travel between the villages . Frankly the view from the sea is better than being in town! If the ferry isn't running due to rough seas or bad weather you can take the train or we'll take you by car. Note that cars aren't permitted in the villages, and the route you'll take on foot from where we can park is quite steep in most places. The schedule gives you time to sit down for lunch , which is a key component of this tour! There are gobs of good restaurants, and of course seafood takes centre stage. Your driver can help you with recommendations.

We advise a 7:30 start , assuming you dock by 7am. If you dock at 8:00 the pickup is at 8:30. We also offer a 9:30 start for ships that dock at 9am. The start time is not flexible as it coincides with the limited ferry schedule.

With a 7:30 pickup the itinerary is as follows*:

  • 07.30 pick up at the ship
  • 09.15-10.00 Portovenere
  • 10.00 take the ferry from Portovenere to Manarola (driver-guide takes the vehicle to meet you in Vernazza)
  • 10.45-11.45 Manarola
  • 11.45 take the ferry from Manarola to Vernazza
  • 12.05-14.15 Vernazza, have lunch (not included in the rate)
  • 14.15-15.00 panoramic road, stop briefly in Corniglia
  • 17.00 back at the ship

With an 8:30 pickup the itinerary is as follows*:

  • 08.30 pick up at the ship
  • 10.15-11.00 Portovenere
  • 11.00 take the ferry from Portovenere to Manarola (driver-guide takes the vehicle to meet you in Vernazza)
  • 11.45-12.45 Manarola
  • 12.45 take the ferry from Manarola to Vernazza
  • 13.05-14.45 Vernazza, have lunch if you wish (not included in the rate)
  • 14.45-15.30 panoramic road, stop briefly in Corniglia
  • 17.30 back at the ship.

*This itinerary is for illustrative purposes only; reality may vary based on many factors. We may also need to adjust the start time; please refer to your confirmation for the final details.

The Cinque Terre from a private boat

When we say Cinque Terre, we refer to the five villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso. These five gems, together with the village of Portovenere and the three tiny islands off its coast, have been declares a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997 for its enchanting beauty. Indeed the man presence during the centuries did not alter the beautiful environment surround the area besides the many agricultural terrains. The coexistence of these beautiful old fishing villages along the Ligurian Coast together with the terraced vineyards and rows of olive trees is today the distinguishing feature of the area. You will learn about the Cinque Terre navigating comfortably on our private boat. From there you will see:

cinque terre by private boat

  • Riomaggiore, the first village after Portovenere when travelling north, with its colourful facades
  • Manarola, rising from the black rocks that highlight even more the many colours of its houses
  • Vernazza with its small natural harbour and the rising tower of the Doria Castle
  • Corniglia, the only of the Cinque Terre that was not built directly on the sea but on a cliff about 100 meters over the sea level
  • Monterosso, the northernmost village with its sandy Fegina beach and its Capuchin Monastery on the hill.

Free time in the charming village of Portovenere

The charming village of Portovenere is located on the Ligurian Riviera, south of the Cinque Terre villages. It also belongs to the UNESCO’s World Heritage Site together with the Cinque Terre villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso. In Portovenere, there is no railway station. For this reason, getting here by boat is the best option.

Among the main attractions to be seen in Portovenere, you find:

  • The Church of San Pietro, a picturesque Gothic church located on a small promontory and overlooking the sea
  • The Church of San Lorenzo, built in a Romanesque style and rebuilt many times during the centuries
  • The Byron’s cave, named after the English poet Lord Byron, who used to come to swim here with his friends
  • The Doria Castle with remains dating back to the 12 th century on the top of the hill
  • The three islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. On these last two you can admire ruins of ancient monasteries

Many consider Portovenere to be the most charming village in the Gulf of Poet (formally the Gulf of La Spezia, stretching between Portovenere and Lerici). From here, when the visibility is good, you can see the Cinque Terre and recognize each of them. During your free time here, you can visit the local shops and get lost in the tiny medieval alleys.

The area was declared UNESCO’s Heritage Site in 1997. Learn more about this unique area in our article .
