Looking for a seaside holiday with some culture thrown in?

Livorno town is the capital of the province and without a doubt one of the prettiest communes hugging the Tuscan coastline.
One of the town’s busiest attractions is its incredible aquarium which has over 150 species of marine life on display across two floors. Get up close to an octopus and learn all different species of fish that thrive in the mild Mediterranean waters off the coast.

Walk along the Terrazza Mascagni which is a stunning promenade that runs along Livorno’s coastline. Musicians often play soft music here in the evenings and so would make it a very romantic stroll to go on with your partner as the sun sinks into the sea.
Gaze upon the majestic Sonnino Castle before hopping on a bus or your own rented car to the charming town of Collesalvetti which is home to a splendid Medici villa and a range of peaceful nature trails.
Further down the coast are the beautiful towns of Castiglioncello and Cecina.
The first is a town of Etruscan origin and tourists can explore some of the fascinating remnants of their existence here. Cecina is a seaside paradise with soft sandy beaches and an interesting archaeological park nearby.
