Tuscany has plenty of activities that adults are sure to enjoy but sometimes children in the group might become tired of waiting in lines or having to stay quiet and calm as they are marched through a parade of museums. An activity that is educational but will keep all ages and groups happy, whether you are holidaying as a family, couple, adult friends, or even on your own, is visiting an aquarium. This gives an opportunity to ooh and aah over the beauty, oddities, dramatics and humour of nature and see creatures that aren't readily visible out in the wild.

The aquarium of Livorno is an especially beautiful and interesting place, filled with many, many different species of aquatic life and located perfectly and centrally at the seafront promenade, just where the famous Mascagni Terrace begins. Once you have found a vacation rental in Livorno, this is just the place to spend a fun afternoon or to stroll through on a quiet morning.     Read More

Whether you are looking to work on your tan and have a few cocktails, play in the water with your kids, go on adventures and try out water sports or visit churches and museums, try Tuscan cuisine, sample local wines or shop for a little of that typical Italian style, you can do it all here.
