Cruise stop in Livorno

How to exit the cruise port in Livorno?

As you disembark, cruise passengers are usually offered shuttles costing over €10 per person. But here’s a cheaper and simpler alternative:

Here’s what to do:

  • Get off the ship and take the free port shuttle (a staff member will give you a pink ticket – it’s free and required to exit the secure terminal).
  • Once dropped off outside the port gates, walk 5–7 minutes to Piazza del Municipio (it’s really close!).
  • From there, you can take a local bus to the city center for €1.70, or explore on foot or by tourist bus.

In less than 15 minutes, you’ll be in Livorno’s vibrant heart, near Piazza Grande.

Bonus: If you enjoy walking, you can reach the center in 20–25 minutes on foot along the canal.

Group tip: Consider the day pass for €3.50 — unlimited local bus rides for the day!
