Piombino sits on the Tuscan coast at the southern tip of the Val di Cornia, 100 kilometres south of Livorno — a working steel-town and the primary ferry port for crossings to Elba (10 nautical miles east). The town's commercial harbour handles the Elba and Sardinia ferries; the adjacent Marina di Salivoli, 4 kilometres south of the centre, is the visiting yacht base with 530 berths. Piombino itself climbs from the harbour up to the medieval Cittadella citadel above the bay, with a 14th-century castle and Renaissance ramparts. Just inland, the Etruscan Necropolis of Populonia sits in a 800-hectare archaeological park — the only Etruscan city built directly on the sea. Piombino is 90 minutes from Elba by sail. Season runs April through October.
