Travel Guide
Passeggiata di Viareggio featuring a city and street scenes
Discover ancient villages in the valleys, relax on sandy beaches and explore a natural park in this diverse region in Tuscany.

Upscale riviera resorts, alpine mountains and ancient castles and churches await in Versilia. This beautiful Tuscan region stands between the Apuan Alps and the shores of the Ligurian Sea, offering scenic views in every direction. Visit a walled medieval town, hike to mountain villages and enjoy long days of beach time.

There is a lot of history to uncover in Versilia. Travel to Pietrasanta and explore its medieval palaces and churches. Tour the 13th-century St. Martin Cathedral, which was made from the region’s famous marble. Next door is a 118-feet (36-meter) red brick tower, construction of which started in the 15th century. Nearby is the 15th-century Church of St. Augustine, which hosts temporary art exhibitions. Browse the archeological museum inside Moroni Palace.

Spend a few days in Lucca, a medieval walled city with cobblestone streets, grand piazzas and well-preserved historical buildings. Walk, cycle or relax on the walls, which form an elevated urban park with trees, paths and grassy areas.

Hike and drive through the valleys of the Apuan Alps, stopping at villages and towns, including Seravezza. Relish the fresh mountain air and visit the 16th-century Palazzo Medici. The town is also the starting point for trips into the Apuan Alps Natural Park. Further inland is the hillside town of Stazzema, where hundreds were massacred by German SS soldiers in 1944.

When it comes to relaxing under the hot Tuscan sun, choose from a range of gorgeous beaches. Head to the golden sands of Lido di Camaiore and the Marina di Pietrasanta. Other popular options include the coastal town of Forte dei Marmi, which is also well known for its 18th-century fortress.

A good point of entry to Versilia is Pisa International Airport, Tuscany’s main airport. It is situated not far from the leaning tower. Rent a car during your stay to maximize your sightseeing opportunities among the beautiful natural landscapes, seaside resorts and ancient towns.
