Nestled between the sea and the Apuan Alps, the Versilia is a unique territory made up of seven municipalities that offer the chance to discover noteworthy local traditions and wonderful itineraries for nature enthusiasts and culture hunters alike.
Viareggio, the famed Carnival hot-spot, is much more than just the sea and confetti-filled festivities. Take a stroll through town and stop in at some of the historic cafes, like Caffè Margherita, or take a long bike ride through the beautiful pine woods, exploring the Liberty-style houses that dot the city.
Make a stop at Torre del Lago, on the banks of Lake Massaciuccoli. Much-loved by Giacomo Puccini, who composed some of his most famous works here, the town plays host to the world-renowned Puccini Festival. Music lovers won’t want to miss a trip to the great master’s house museum, followed by an evening of performances at the open-air theatre if you’re around in the summer season.
