Where Should I go: Livorno or Puerto del Carmen?
Livorno
Livorno is a relatively large port city on the Tyrrhenian Sea on the western coast of Italy. It has a population of just over 160,000 and is well connected by ferry. Because of the many ferry connections, Livorno makes a convenient starting point for a tour of Tuscany. Pisa is accessible within half an hour and both Lucca and Florence can be reached in a little over an hour. Several of the hotels in town organize comprehensive and efficient tours of the area that might include Chianti, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, Siena and Volterra all in one day. If you're arriving on a cruise ship and hoping to make it back before departure time, then these tours are not recommended.
Puerto del Carmen
Located on the south-eastern coast of the Canary Island of Lanzarote, Puerto del Carmen is a popular resort area best known for its high concentration of bars, pubs, restaurants, and clubs. By day, visitors frequent the beaches for swimming, sunbathing, windsurfing, and other watersports - and by night, they flock to enjoy the live music and drinks of the area's thriving nightlife.
