Versilia offers kilometers of sandy beaches and imposing mountain peaks, relaxing pine groves and exclusive tourist centers, welcoming hotels and trendy nightclubs. But the Riviera of Versilia is also a refined place of culture, entertainment, and history, one of the most famous and popular tourist destinations, gifted with well-organized hotels and bathing facilities.

The coast, sandy and shallow, continues for twenty kilometers, and the Apuan Alps reach heights of 2000 meters. In a few minutes it is possible to leave wide beaches and arrive at the mountains, from the blue of the sea to the green dense pine forests. Its rich and varied landscape full of peaceful paths that cross woods, fields, and mountains, picturesque towns, ancient refuges, and marble quarries make the zone an important tourist destination for those who want to dedicate themselves to excursions, mountain climbing, and hiking.

Versilia is made up of eight communities and is characterized by a very attractive natural setting. Pietrasanta, the little Athens, is known for the beauty of its architectural works, such as the Cathedral and the Tower of the Hours, and for the well-organized beach of Marina di Pietrasanta. Forte dei Marmi, with its high-class nightclubs and shops, is one of the most exclusive and fashion-conscious destinations for tourism and for swimming in the Riviera. The communities of Seravezza and Stazzema, a few kilometers from the sea at the foot of the Apuan Alps, make up Alta Versilia. Lido di Camaiore, the famous beach of the historic town of Camaiore, is one of the most popular tourist locations thanks to the numerous bathing establishments and the beautiful villas immersed in the green. Viareggio is known for its characteristic Art Noveau buildings, its Carnival, its elegant seaside boardwalk, and its night life. Massarosa is an important historic town immersed in the woods. The nearness of Lake Massaciuccoli, Puccini's "caro bozzo", makes it a natural oasis without equal.

But Versilia also offers its visitors a great number of cultural and folk events: the Puccini Festival at Torre del Lago, the Versiliana Festival, the Carnival and the Literary Prize of Viareggio, and the historic Palio in Micci are just a few of the most famous annual celebrations.

In Versilia one can also find elegant markets, high-quality shops, and exclusive clubs and discos being the favorites of famous show business personalities. The Riviera can also satisfy even the most demanding palate with its gastronomy and its regional dishes with the recipes that have been conserved since the 1800s - the ancient tastes of the sea.

The long stretches of fine sand beaches, enchanting landscapes, sublime panoramic views, and characteristic towns make Versilia a coveted place among those who want to stay in the Riviera without giving up the beauty and the harmony of a welcoming place with many attractions.
