The geography of Livorno province means that practically all of its towns and municipalities face the sea.

The sea at Livorno and throughout the province is an integral part of the culture, and the bond with local inhabitants is inseparable and essential. Given that Livorno is synonymous with the sea, visit all of its towns, beaches and seaside resorts heading south from the main city.

You’ll encounter the charming Castiglioncello, a renowned holiday destination for Tuscans, followed by the pleasant Cecina, Marina di Bibbona and San Vincenzo, before reaching the headland where Piombino sits, whose highlights are Baratti and Populonia. The Livorno coastline is characterised by exceptionally long sandy beaches, often backed by pine forests. All the resorts are perfectly equipped for tourism: there are plenty of hotels, apartments, beach clubs and all the amenities you need for a wonderful seaside holiday.

The Livorno interior, as mentioned, is less prominent. However, there are some gems worth discovering, such as the village of Bolgheri, also renowned for the wines produced there, or the beautiful Suvereto, nestled within the Val di Cornia landscape.

Finally, Livorno province also includes numerous islands from the Tuscan archipelago. The most important is undoubtedly Elba Island, Italy’s third-largest island after Sicily and Sardinia, with some unmissable beaches and numerous picturesque villages, plus a magnificent hinterland waiting to be explored, reaching over 1,000 metres at the peak of Monte Capanne.

The other islands of Capraia, Pianosa and Montecristo are less significant from a tourism perspective, but if you decide to visit them you’ll find stunning views and beautiful azure waters.
