Another point of interest of Versilia is undoubtedly the city of Viareggio. This city overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea was a strategic point for the economy of Lucca because it was the only outlet on the sea. For this reason the city is internationally renowned for its nautical craftsmanship and naval technique.
Viareggio is also known for one of the most irreverent events of the Italian entertainment: the Carnevale (namely the Carnival); this event requires a meticulous and rigorous preparation to entertain more and more its audience every year.
In the summer, as well as the other cities of Versilia, Viareggio offers many possibilities for its tourists: its promenade, adjacent to the seaside, is full of shops of all kinds and restaurants for all tastes!
