Car Hire in Viareggio
Viareggio is located on the western coast of Tuscany, less than 30 km from Pisa. Traditionally loved by locals, the town is a favourite seaside resort renowned for its pleasant atmosphere and the wealth of activities and local attractions.
The town's beach is a wide sandy stretch with a promenade running the full length; this is also the place with exclusive boutiques and clothing stores, perfect for an evening wander. Old buildings with ornate doorways and wonderful architecture, some of which dates back to the 12th century; there are examples of Liberty/Art Nouveau style architecture (Cinema Savoia & Gran Cafe Margherita are good examples) adding to the peculiarly decadent feel of the town. A wander along the town’s narrow streets or a boat trip along the city's canal offers different views of what the town has to offer. Viareggio is surrounded by some of the best scenery in Italy, with great agricultural land that yields fantastic produce, the Mediterranean to the west and the Apuan Alps, the mountains to the north east. During the Carnival season, the town has the brightest and most decadent displays of floats on parade, creating a fantastic atmosphere that ripples through the thousands of visitors that fill the streets.
To the south are forests and parks with trails that go deep into the dense stretches of trees. World famous Carrara marble is mined in this region, there are more than 130 open quarries still active. A drive along the roads that snake their way up the mountains will bring visitors to places where the great artist Michelangelo would come to choose blocks of fine marble. It is a striking sight, the mountains cut open for the precious stone. Viareggio is close to other fascinating cities within a few hours drive including Florence (Firenze), Lucca and Livorno. For more secluded accommodation the beautiful small town of Forte die Marmi has exclusive villas and parks for those who want more privacy.
