Florence in a Day from Livorno

View from Boboli Gardens, FlorenceView from Boboli Gardens, FlorenceAlthough Livorno has plenty to offer to visitors, it cannot offer the history and artistic treasures that Florence has, and many of you will probably have Firenze high on your list of priorities of places to visit.

Lari

The old town walls of LariThe old town walls of LariJust 32 km, or 20 miles, from Livorno, Lari is one of a rare breed of Tuscan villages that has maintained its authentic village way of life. Although geographically located in the province of Pisa, it is actually equidistant from both Livorno and Pisa, and is famous above all for its annual cherry festival - the Sagra della Cigliegia - in May, when thousands flood this tiny castle-topped town.

Livorno to Pisa Bus Service

As an alternative to the train, the Livorno-Pisa route is also run by the CPT (Pisa bus company). 

The CPT bus service Livorno-Pisa takes about an hour because it goes via the small coastal towns of Tirrenia and Marina di Pisa (popular for their beaches in the summer).
