• A discounted price of €8.50 for the boat trip on the canals of Livorno (full rate €10).

• Tour Guides – 10% discount for groups and individuals
• Discounted entrance of €2 to the Caprilli race course on race days.

Livorno - Pisa Airport Bus Service

UNFORTUNATELY THIS SERVICE HAS BEEN TERMINATED, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER LIVORNO BUS SERVICES AS A RESULT OF RECENT CUTBACKS. The only way to get to Livorno from Pisa Airport now is by train. (note added 25th May 2011)

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).

It can take time to work out how to get around, how the local buses work, where to eat and shop, and sometimes even just to get your bearings. And when time is short, this can be frustrating and annoying, especially if your Italian is not up to scratch!

The Cheapest way to get around Livorno

Local Livorno bus in Piazza GrandeLocal Livorno bus in Piazza GrandeThere is no easier or cheaper way to explore Livorno than by using the local ATL bus service. There are 15 different bus routes covering the whole of the city and the surrounding districts, and for just €3 (the cost of  a one-day Livorno Card) you can get unlimited local bus travel for a whole day, hopping on and off any bus whenever and wherever you please. Alternatively, just buy a €1 single ticket per journey (valid for 70 minutes from when you stamp it on the bus) if you are only going to take one or two buses.
Nearly all Livorno’s orange ATL buses go through the central Piazza Grande, one of the city’s main squares (just 100m from the cruise ship shuttle bus stop).

The Number 1 and the Number 2 services are particularly useful  since they cover some of Livorno’s most interesting and noteworthy areas. Here’s a brief description of the two routes:
