Where do cruise ships dock in Livorno?

Where do cruise ships dock in Livorno Italy? Can we walk from the port of Livorno to the center of the town?

These are some of the most frequent questions Mediterranean cruisers are asking when it comes to docking in the port of Livorno, the closest point your cruise ship can get on the way to Pisa, Florence, and Lucca.

One of Italy's biggest seaports, the Porto di Livorno (Port of Livorno), is where cruise ships dock. Although the precise places where cruise ships dock within the port may differ, the main areas that they use are:

Porto Industriale: Larger cruise ships can dock at a number of the piers in this industrial port area. Molo Italia (marked orange on the map) is one of them: this pier, which is close to the old fortress and often frequented by cruise ships, offers reasonably easy access to the city center (but not on foot).
Another part of the port that can handle cruise ships, especially larger ones, is Darsena Toscana (marked green on the map).
Porto Mediceo (marked yellow on the map) is part of the Livorno port complex that is the closest to the town but it can only accommodate smaller ships and that is very rare, too. Namely, many maritime events are happening in this area throughout the summer and ships are not allowed to dock here.

You don't need to worry too much about the exact position of your cruise ship as there are shuttle bus services organized inside the port (Porto di Livorno 2000) that take you from the dock into the town of Livorno, more precisely, in Piazza del Munizipio which is marked on our Livorno map in red.

The docks are just too far from town and too dangerous to walk around freely, which is why taking the port shuttle bus is a must.

How can you get from Livorno cruise terminal to Livorno Centrale train station?

Is Livorno walkable? Can you walk from your ship dock to the train station? Unfortunately, Livorno is not walkable, and you can't walk from the cruise ship dock to the train station.

You can only get from your cruise ship's dock to Livorno town center or Livorno Centrale either by:

Taking one of the taxis. However, keep in mind that the taxis that are allowed inside the port want to take you for a whole day tour to Florence or Tuscany, not just to the train station. That's why it's a big 'maybe'. If you are short on time to catch the train that leaves only once an hour, you might also take a local taxi from a taxi rank in Piazza Grande (close to the cruise port shuttle drop-off, marked in purple on the Livorno map).

Taking the cruise line-organized shuttle bus (Porto Livorno 2000) to the Piazza del Municipio stop in town. From the shuttle bus drop-off point, you will walk a few steps to Livorno Piazza Grande, and from there you will catch the local bus no.1 to Livorno Centrale Train station. The whole procedure is described in my article Getting from Livorno to Florence by train. Don’t forget to purchase the local bus tickets at the Tabbachi kiosk in the square before you get on the bus.
On our Livorno map, we have also outlined the route of the public bus no.1 to the train station. It’s a 10-minute ride, approximately.

It all seems too much to remember when all you want is just go to Florence or Pisa and enjoy your day?

You are right! Planning this day on your own can be a bit stressful. Florence is a big city that easily eats your limited time, and that is why on this day I recommend taking one of the organised bus transfers that cater to cruisers needs specifically.

They depart from Piazza Municipale where your cruise port shuttle drops you off, they are affordable and feel like going into Florence on your own (but without stressing about getting back onboard in time).

Check this fantastic opportunity below or read more in my article Getting to Florence by bus or Getting to Pisa by bus.

If you are not necessarily just interested in visiting Florence or Pisa but rather long to have a stress-free day of wine tasting in Tuscany, check the selection of Tuscany shore excursions available from the cruise ship's dock...
