Luxury things to do in Viareggio
The winter blues are banished when the Carnevale takes over this 1920s resort and turns it into a month-long party. Giant multi-coloured floats parade through wide boulevards before the all-night dancing begins. Walk down Via dei Tigli’s avenue of lime trees towards Torre del Lago Puccini where the former home of the composer is now an intimate museum. Every summer, Puccini’s arias ring out poignantly from the nearby open-air theatre.
