How Long It Takes and What Matters for the Port

By car the trip takes around 3.5 hours. Trains go to Livorno Centrale, and you will usually need onward transport to the port terminal. Leave some spare time before boarding.

Transportation: What to Choose?

The fastest options take about 3.5 hours, and others are longer or involve a change. Early tickets can start at around €20.

A flexible route.
Cons
Parking and car return complicate the trip before boarding.

Why People Go to Livorno and What Matters for the Port

Cruises and ferries depart from Livorno, including services to Sardinia and Corsica. The key is to find out your terminal and boarding deadline in advance, since they determine when to leave Milan.

The city is close to Pisa, and many people combine the two. With a free day you can stop in Pisa. If you are going straight to the ship, one car from your Milan address to the terminal saves changing with luggage.

How to Choose Transport Before Boarding

Before a cruise, the main risk is running late, so do not plan to arrive at the last minute. The train can be cheaper, but on this route you usually have to allow for a change and the trip from the station to the port. You will also be moving heavy luggage several times, especially with a family.

A car from Milan takes you there with no changes, and the price is shared among passengers. If time allows, you can stop in Pisa on the way. For the return after a cruise, arrange your pickup in advance and leave extra time, since disembarkation times can change.
