The Marina di Viareggio is not only an important marina, but also a lively meeting place for sailors, walkers and pleasure-seekers.

A stroll through the harbour of Viareggio is part of a holiday in the town.

Viareggio beach is one of the most popular on the Tuscan coast. Fine, light-coloured sand, well-kept bathing areas (bagni) with sun loungers and parasols and a shallow surf make it ideal for families and sun worshippers. Many of the beach sections in Viareggio offer excellent service, restaurants right by the sea and a fantastic view of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Anyone planning a beach holiday in Tuscany will find the perfect conditions for relaxation and enjoyment here.

The Viareggio Carnival is one of the most important carnival events in Italy. With its elaborately designed floats, which often satirise political and social issues, it attracts thousands of guests every year. A unique experience full of colour, music and joie de vivre. The Museo del Carnevale in Viareggio is dedicated to the famous carnival. Here you can learn all about the history, the construction of the figures and the art of papier-mâché.

Torre del Lago Puccini, named after the famous composer Giacomo Puccini, is located just a few kilometres from Viareggio. His former home is located here and is now a museum. Every year, the renowned Puccini Festival is held on the shores of Lago di Massaciuccoli, a must for opera lovers.

The Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli Nature Park stretches along the coast and is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Ideal for hiking, cycling or birdwatching, it is a paradise for nature lovers and a green oasis of peace. A perfect balance to the lively beach life.
