Making Our Own Way.

Can any one tell me if you can get to Livorno very easily on your own.

Probably, but you won't be able to walk as the whole area is an industrial port: no walking allowed and too far anyway. Taxis will be available.

 

Not a very nice port. We did a tour, glad we did as the port smelled of petro-chemicals, so unpleasant to stay onboard. Can't advise on the town itself. This was a few years back.

15 minute walk or take the port shuttle bus

May depend on where you're docked then.

The ship normally will berth at the outer edge of a huge container port.  There is nothing in walking distance; you will need the shuttle to town, this is normally free but you will have to queue to get a shuttle bus ticket.

 

It does have an indoor market and street markets.  There is a huge fort with a large waterway round it, too big to call a moat and a public park.   The HOHO bus visits 10 places around the town.  The first bus is at 10am with a bus every hour.  Last bus is 3pm.  Try the Aquarium; stop 3 on the HOHO, €13pp.  They have a Funicular Car up to a viewing point, stop 5 on the HOHO.
