Introducing Northern & Western Tuscany

Further afield on a coast refreshingly unburdened by destinations everyone knows about, the port city of Livorno, like the primary school girl-bully, dares you to like it. Peculiar, intimidating and well fed, amenable camaraderie is a possibility – if she doesn’t punch your lights out first.
Ferries to the breezy Tuscan islands of Capraia and Gorgona depart from Livorno as well as Piombino.
