DIY ideas/options from Livorno please?

[CruisingSarah]

It's a long time since I was last in Livorno but I remember going DIY on the train pretty easily to Pisa for a few hours.

 

Is it still easy to do this or to go to Florence?

 

Or could anyone suggest any other straightforward DIY options perhaps for something different?

 

I've ventured independently at many ports in the past but my travelling partner this time round is a bit nervous about travelling independently of the ship's excursions.

 

Thanks for any ideas.

Pisa and Lucca are very easy to reach by train from Livorno.  Florence is also straightforward, though it takes longer.  If you and your travel partner don't have a strong desire to go to Florence, Lucca, or a combination of Pisa and Lucca, is a great option.

Thank you!  That's helpful! Might try Lucca as never been and have been to the others before.

Here is the Lucca tourism web site, maybe it will give you some ideas:  Home Page | Turismo Lucca

 

If you're up for it, renting a bike to ride atop the city walls is a lot of fun.
