From this Ligurian port you can visit Pisa, to see the 11th century Duomo cathedral and world-famous Leaning Tower (now 15 precarious feet off perpendicular). Or legendary Florence, Renaissance city of the Medici grand dukes, where the peerless art treasures of the Uffizi and a majestic prospect of domes, towers and spires framed by the distant Tuscan hills will demand closer study - along with those stylish boutiques offering superb leather goods.
