Located in northwestern Tuscany on the Tyrrhenian coast, Viareggio is a popular summer seaside resort town. But it is also famous for its spectacular Carnival celebrations, where massive papier-mâché floats parade along a 2km-long ring road called the “Passeggiata a mare.” As many as a half million people visit Viareggio each year during Carnival to enjoy the giant float parade. Buona visita!
