Livorno Guide

Livorno Ferry Port

Visitors to the port of Livorno, set into the coastline of a bustling metropolitan on the west-coast of Italy, will immediately be struck by its size. Dockyard cranes stretch towards the Mediterranean skyline and colossal freight ships prowl the harbour, all to facilitate the port’s yearly haul of 30 million tonnes of incoming cargo. Though much of the predominantly industrial port is inaccessible to pedestrians, the cruise terminal is a welcoming open-plan space featuring a food court and free Wi-Fi. A shuttle bus service is also available for travel into the heart of the city. This short trip takes passengers over a canal teeming with small private boats before stopping in the shadow of the Palazzo Communale, Livorno’s 18th century town hall that reflects the city’s distinctive neo-renaissance architectural style. The port of Livorno offers a variety of routes for passengers wanting to explore the Mediterranean and beyond. There are plenty of daily excursions across the pristine Tyrrhenian sea, with stops in the mountainous French isle of Corsica and the Italian islands of Scilly and Sardinia further south. Longer-haul trips into Barcelona and Tangier Med in Morocco leave on a weekly basis too, both routes skirting the ocean border between Europe and Africa.


Olbia Guide

Olbia Ferry Port

Found on the north east coast of the Italian island of Sardinia, the port of Olbia is used to connect passengers to mainland Italy. Moby, Grimaldi Lines and Tirrenia all provide many daily crossings to Civitavecchia, Genoa, Livorno and Piombino. Most crossings last between five and ten hours.

What is there to do in Olbia?

A hidden gem among the array of coastal resorts lying along the shoreline of Italy, Olbia’s lack of popularity has become its primary selling point. It holds the quintessential feel of an old, Italian town but is still largely untouched by the gradual modernisation of tourism. Tourists are encouraged to sample vintage bottles of wine for remarkably cheap prices or indulge in another slice of pizza at one of the delicious restaurants; all whilst enjoying the sleepy vibe synonymous with the town. Before tasting all the sumptuous food, plenty of boutique shops are available, selling authentic gifts at an affordable price. Aside from shopping and eating, there is much natural beauty to be explored around the region: Porto Istana Beach and Spiaggia Rena Bianca offer wonderful views, gorgeous coastline and fascinating rock formations. If that isn’t enough then the San Pantaleo is arguably the standout landmark in a town inundated with history and culture. Olbia, quite simply, has something to satisfy the desires of every visitor.

How do visitors get around Olbia?

The town is so small that it is possible to cover the entirety of it by foot in less than a day, which is a desirable option considering the quaint streets and rustic buildings.
