Tourist Information Kiosk in Piazza del Comune: Drop-off and pick-up point for the cruise shuttle buses.Getting from your Cruise Ship to the Centre of Livorno:

If your cruise ship docks at one of Livorno's industrial wharfs, there will be a cruise shuttle bus service into town which drops off and picks up opposite Livorno town hall, just behind Piazza Grande. There is a Tourist Information Kiosk here where you can get maps and other information about Livorno. Some of the smaller cruise ships dock in the old Medici Port (Porto Mediceo) which is within easy walking distance from the town centre of Livorno.

Afternoon shopping hours in Livorno start at about 4pm but this can be later in the summer. They generally close at 8pm. On Monday mornings shops are closed (except for food shops, markets and supermarkets). In Livorno, however, shops open on the first Sunday of every month (but sometimes only in the afternoon, and not in July or August). Many small businesses also close for a short period during August - the 'Chiuso per Ferie' (closed for holidays) sign is a familiar sight.
The Central Market of Livorno and food shops and stalls in the market area open at about 8am, closing at 1pm from Monday to Saturday. Supermarkets open all day, and are often open on Sunday mornings as well.

Livorno Bus Tickets: These can be bought at newpaper kiosks and tobacconists, as well as at the automatic ticket machines in Piazza Grande. In theory you can also buy tickets on board the bus, but they cost more, and often the driver has run out! Tickets must be stamped in the yellow machines on board at the beginning of your journey and are valid for an hour.

Pharmacies: There is a 24-hour chemist, Farmacia Comunale Grande in Livorno's central Piazza Grande, at number 39.

Public Toilets in Livorno: There are some public toilets inside the Central Market. Otherwise it is general practice to use the facilities of a café or bar, buying a quick coffee or even just a glass of water for the privilege. There are toilets upstairs in the Coin department store (Piazza Attias), and in the Upim (Via Marradi and Via Grande).
