Livorno serves as the coastal gateway to the stunning region of Tuscany, where one can find both the popular destinations of Pisa and Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. Florence is home to some of the world’s most remarkable works of art by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli, in addition to Michelangelo’s David and the Duomo, whose terrace provides breathtaking views of the city’s red-tiled roofs and narrow medieval streets. Pisa, once Florence’s political rival and a bold, commercial seafaring town that rivaled the great maritime powers of Venice and Genoa, is not to be missed. While the Leaning Tower is a must-see, do not stop there. Palazzo Agostini contains 12th-century remains of Pisa’s city walls, and Piazza dei Cavalieri has consistently been the center of Pisan history.
