Viareggio, a seaside resort that has had its moment of glory, remains a surprising city. Located north of Pisa, in Northern Tuscany, the city was once nicknamed "The Old Lady". It retains the Art Nouveau architecture for which it is renowned. It is a pleasant seaside resort where long walks allow you to admire its former beauty.
Art Nouveau architecture
Viareggio is a city rich in monuments whose architectural style is similar to Art Nouveau. A stroll through the city and along the Passeggiata Margherita will give you the opportunity to contemplate the best examples of this architecture.
Take advantage of your catamaran charter in Italy to discover and stroll along its vast sandy beaches with colorful parasols hauling in the sides of the boats, a characteristic of Italian seaside resorts. A short drive a few kilometers east of the city will take you to a large beach of fine sand, perfect for long walks by foot. To make the most of your stay, take advantage of the yacht charter in Viareggio.
A city of a thousand colors
If you are a party animal, plan a stay in February or towards the end of January. You will be able to attend the famous Viareggio carnival, held every Sunday, on Shrove Tuesday and before the forty days of Lent. The festival begins with the famous Flight of the Angel: a surprise guest launches himself along a zip line from the top of the Bell Tower in San Marco, in the middle of Piazza San Marco.
A burst of applause will welcome this spectacular entertainment that marks the beginning of the festivities. A festive atmosphere, South American and Italian music, parades, laughter and joy… everything comes together to bring the city to life and fill it with color. It is also an internationally recognized carnival, the most important in Italy after Venice. This special time of year attracts crowds and promises wonderful entertainment for families. You can admire the papier-mâché floats depicting celebrities and politicians. Huge floats travel through the colorful streets, where people in traditional medieval costumes parade.
