The Mediterranean is not better explored than in a port city. Livorno is located on the Tyrrhenian Sea and is a stop on many cruise ship itineraries and has a ferry station that can transport visitors to the surrounding islands. Livorno was built in the 16th century as a mercantile port city, but visitors can spend the day exploring the 17th century New Venice District which is surrounded by canals and features boutiques, restaurants, and bars. Many locals in Livorno port their boats in the waterways surrounding the district. Visitors wanting to spend the entire day in Livorno should visit during the Effetto Venezia Festival.
