Sights
Fortezza Vecchia (Old Fortress)
A brick Medici fortress at the harbour mouth, with views over the port. Entry is usually free, but opening times vary with events, so check locally.
- Most cruise berths are inside the working port, where you cannot walk out freely. Use the port shuttle bus to the centre.
- Florence is about 90 km away. Allow at least 2 hours each way from the ship, and leave Florence in good time: a late train can mean a missed all-aboard.
- The town's covered market (Mercato Centrale) is closed on Sundays.
- Cruise berths may change in the coming years: the port authority plans new cruise berths at Calata Orlando and Calata Pisa, with work from 2027.
