Livorno
Travel Guide & Travel Information
When the capital of the Italian province of the same name became a free port in the 17th century, it developed into a multicultural city thanks to new customs, religions and a touch of the exotic brought by merchants. Today, elegant Belle Époque buildings in the historic district are reminders of its prosperous past. In addition, there are canals reminiscent of Venice, and a stroll along the black-and-white tiled promenade by the sea is a must.
