Livorno is in Tuscany. It was traditionally called Leghorn in English, but that name is mostly restricted to a breed of chickens, nowadays.

Bus number 1 is a shuttle from the train station to the port and vice-versa. For self-reliant cruise passengers, this is part of the most economical way to reach trains to Pisa and Florence.
Livorno and the surrounding area is very flat, which means that cycling is almost as popular as it is in the Netherlands. When walking, beware of the tendency of the locals to cycle on sidewalks and to cycle the wrong way down a one-way street.
Once you have arrived at the center nearly everything can be visited on foot or bike. Driving around is not recommended, not least because the local police are very vigilant and will rapidly give you a ticket if you are parked in the wrong place. There are several large Parking places to leave your vehicle during your stay and many hotels also offer to park.
"Ponce alla livornese" is optimal to finish a meal (warm drink with coffee and rum).

I'm not going to tell about this fun and harmonious cruise. Believe me, it has become one of the best cruises among others in a long list of my sea trips.
