Perched on Tuscany's picturesque coastline, Viareggio is the second-largest city within the province of Lucca. This seaside city is painted with illustrious history that traces back to the 16th century when it served as the only gateway to the sea for the Republic of Lucca. Fast forward to today, and you will find a bustling tourist hotspot known for its grandiose carnival, artisanal shipbuilding, and the prestigious Premio letterario Viareggio Répaci literature award.

Known for its vibrant Carnivale di Viareggio which has enchanted residents and visitors alike since 1873, the city breaks into a spectacle of colour and creativity. Giant papier-mâché floats parade along the sea-facing promenade, "Passeggiata a mare", showcasing the official symbol of the carnival, ‘Burlamacco’. Beyond the carnival, the city's economy pivots on tourism, commercial services, along with sectors such as fishing and floriculture.

When to visit Viareggio

Experience Viareggio at its finest by visiting during the warm summer months of June, July, and August, when the heat ramps up, and rainfall fades into the background. The captivating charm of Spring and Autumn offers comfortable temperatures and extends a zesty atmosphere that is palpable across the city. Moreover, these seasons also offer the perfect balance of high temperatures and minimal rainfall.

Although winters present cooler temperatures, its charm transforms the city into a tranquil retreat, giving you a wholly different perspective on its vibrancy. However, for those seeking a bargain, the month of December can prove particularly beneficial, offering less crowded experiences at a significant discount.
