Panoramic view certainly from below the tower of the same name.

Interesting fact: It was from here that both Giovanni da Verrazzano and Amerigo Vespucci set sail in the 16th century, crossing the Atlantic to reach the new continent. This was also the port where the fleet of the Knights of Santo Stefano, the religious order of chivalry founded by Cosimo de' Medici to counter the raids of the Barbary pirates who plagued the Mediterranean, was moored. Here, in a lavish ceremony, Maria de' Medici embarked to marry Henry IV, King of France. Galileo also came here to test how the telescope he had perfected could be used aboard a ship in rough seas, but an exceptional calm thwarted his attempt.

For 10 km from Calambrone (mouth of the Scolmatore) to Marina di Pisa (mouth of the Arno), there is a coastline consisting of a beach of fine, light sand with the sea in front and a pine forest with thick Mediterranean scrub behind it.

Until 1960, San Piero a Grado was served by the Pisa–Tirrenia–Livorno electric railway, with its own stop within the town centre.

The Trammino Cycle Path is a scenic cycle/pedestrian path connecting the center of Pisa to the Marina di Pisa coastline. Approximately 13 km long, it follows the route of the historic "Trammino" railway and runs along a protected, paved path, perfect for cycling, walking, and strollers. The flat route, suitable for everyone, passes through city neighborhoods, green spaces, open countryside, and pine forests, offering a sustainable, peaceful, and picturesque alternative to reaching the sea. Ideal for families, cyclists, and anyone who wants to enjoy a day outdoors, immersed in history and nature.

Small ice cream parlor with delicious ice cream or a quick espresso - centrally located at the intersection in Bibbona.

Near the Sanctuary square there are benches where you can stop and enjoy a beautiful view from Livorno

Montenero Alto is definitely worth a visit, perhaps using (with a normal city bus ticket) the nice funicular that leaves from Piazza delle Carrozze, in Montenero Basso. The Sanctuary dedicated to the Madonna di Montenero, protector of Livorno and Patron Saint of Tuscany, is very interesting; the Church, in rich Baroque style, also houses an impressive collection of humble and rich ex-votos, the result of intense popular devotion over the centuries. In the Famedio, the portico in front of the entrance to the Sanctuary, there are cenotaphs and tombs of people who distinguished themselves in the world of culture, politics, art... who were born or lived in Livorno. Furthermore, from the Sanctuary square and its surroundings you can admire magnificent views from above not only of the city, but - proceeding from southwest to northeast - also of the sea and the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago (and on clear days even of Corsica), of the coast up to Liguria, of the Apuan Alps and of the western Apennines. Finally, going up via della Porcigliana to Castellaccio, you can reach the top of the Montenero hill (over 300 m above sea level) and from here enjoy a wide, splendid panorama.
