We have an overnight stop in Livorno on our upcoming cruise. Arrive day one 8am leave day two 6pm.
We would like to visit both Cinque Terre and Florence/Pisa. Have previously visited both but felt rushed in each location. Cruise is in April 2025 so swimming/beach is not really a consideration.
Questions:
1). Which location should we do on our first day where we have no set time to return to the ship?
2) Should we consider staying overnight at a hotel or airbnb to maximize time in one location?
3) Are there any options of transportation to/from CT or Florence that would include a late return (8pm) so we can enjoy more of the day. Looking for recommendations that are not a “tour” just a driver.
4) Any other place we should consider instead of CT given the distance from Livorno port?
thanks in advance for your suggestions!
