Can pisa (just the leaning tower) be done at night? Is it lit up, is it safe?

If we got up early and took early train from Florence to Cinque Terre, spent an hour or two there, then onto Pisa, another hour or so there and then took train back to Livorno where the ship is docked, can it reasonably be done? Out ship is docked until 7pm, so we'd like to plan to be back no later than 6pm. Or are we fooling ourselves? Is it too much? So badly want to see cinque terre and Pisa too. We will be spending prior day in Florence and sleeping over there...

We will be in Ibiza from 7AM to 6pm on a Wednesday. How easy is it to get from cruise port to the old town area (and is this the same as Dalt Vila)? Would be then easily be able to get to a nearby beach to just relax for a bit, for an hour or two? Not looking for any partying. Do you have to pay to access the beaches? Any Recommendations for how to spend our day there? It's our last port on a 9 day cruise so we are going to be sight-seed out and prob pretty tired by then.

Thank you so much for this response, exactly what I was looking for!! We might switch out the cable cars for some of the gaudi houses, but this is excellent info. I love walking, so not worried about that and we don't need to spend a ton of time at each location either.

looks amazing! I can't wait to go

Yes, I should have included that in my 'to see' list!! Definitely wan to visit the gaudi houses.

Thank you, and these things can all be done in a single/full day? Then second day maybe we can see the gaudi houses? Maybe we will skip the cable cars if not enough time to do it all. Hoping our flight gets in early enough to give us time upon arrival to see some sights as well.

Oh thank you! Still can't quite figure out how to find topics.

Thank you, we are now considering staying the night in Florence. Do you have other hotes to recommend? I will also look into the one you mention above.

Do you have any hotesl you can recommend in Florence?

So we are reconsidering a hotel in Florence, this way we will have the entire day/night and the morning to explore. Any reccs for a decent hotel thats not too pricey and is near all the sights?

Hi All! I will arrive in Barcelona sometime (not sure when yet) on the 14th of May and will need to get to cruise port by the 16th of May (say 2ish). Would like to ride the cable cars, visit la sagrada familia, Parc Guell, walk the ramblas and the gothic quarter, stop for some food along the way and shopping. So, how much of this can we fit into a single day and how much for the second (shorter day)? Are all these things close by to each other? Any tips in planning for the above?

Definitely!

Thank you for the info!! I will check out the links you mentioned, I didn't even realize there was a separate thread for food/eats.

Thank you!!

Any reccs for a delicious meal (lunch-ish) in the cities of Florence and Rome?

Trying to plan our day in Florence (ship docks overnight). If we take a late train back from Florence to Livorno, how can we best get back to ship from there? Or is it easier to take train to Pisa and then back to ship from Pisa? I'm understanding that taxis may not be readily available. What are some reliable car services that we can check out and arrange for in advance? It will be late at night, likely between 9 -11, depending on if we eat dinner in Florence (which I would like to do...although we will be eating lunch there so we can possibly not eat dinner there?). I don't want to stay over in Florence, but I also don't want to get stuck without transport at the train station on the way home. Thanks in advance.

What hotel will you use? Thinking of this option as well.

good info. We could stay later to have dinner and then possibly arrange for pick up at Livorno to get back to the ship. Will need to think more about this apparantely.

Thank you, we will def eat there, but likely will not stay too too late. Is it easy to get a taxi from livorno or Pisa train stations back to the ship, if we arrived back around 9PM?

Do you know if the bus stop near the cruise port is called Romo (la Sanita)?

Not a bad idea, except I don't really want to spend any more money, haha...thjhis trip is already costing a fortune!

THank you everybody. We will be docked overnight in Livorno, so no need to rush back. Planning to do Florence on our own via train (since we can't miss the boat), then next day go to Pisa (we have until 7pm, so should be plenty of time to do on our own).

Can anybody provide a recent review of the Park of Molentargius and details on how best to get there from the port in Cagliari, including how far away it is from the port? Is it easy and worthwhile to see the pink flamingos?
