Viareggio Carnival!

Viareggio, a coastal city in Tuscany, is famous for its carnival besides the sea. If you don't think about the friends of the Venice Carnival, you can think about Viareggio!

From Venice to Viareggio, Italy is a scene of color, costume and fun! Today is one of the most important days of Carnival - Fat Thursday! Viareggio Carnival is one of Italy's most famous and spectacular carnivals, held along the picturesque Tuscan coast.

The Viareggio Carnival tradition dates back to 1873 and is known for its magnificent floats, parades and joyous atmosphere. Floats are elaborate, creative, and often represent celebrities, politicians, and current events.

These giant patterns are often colorful and turn the streets of Viareggio into a stage for fantasy. During the parade, floats travel along the waterfront promenade, giving spectators the chance to see these incredible artworks up close.

Viareggio Carnival is also known for its masks, costumes and weeks-long celebrations. Music, dancing and laughter are an important part of the celebration, creating an atmosphere of joy. Viareggio is conveniently located in the Tuscany region and can be reached by train or car from cities such as Pisa and Florence.

If you have the opportunity to attend the Viareggio Carnival, be prepared to experience a unique and memorable moment of one of Italy's most spectacular carnivals, immersed in an atmosphere of magic and creativity.

Their floats are large and small, each float is a lot of people's efforts to participate in the production, the parade also has a lot of staff continuous operation to let the float "live" over!

Each float has a meaning behind it, like there's a person who falls asleep with a phone, and then slowly wakes up. Because of the development of science and technology, human beings are increasingly lacking in creativity and imagination, so they want to wake up human beings, wake up and regain the original energy.

traffic
We are from Rome, the train more than 3 hours to arrive, the middle need to go down to Florence transfer, so personally think the train is better! Because the road is closed that day because of the float parade, you may have to drive a little outside and walk on your own. If you drive close enough!

Admission ticket
There are purchase channels on the official website, you can choose the date. There is a choice of standing ticket and sitting ticket, standing ticket is cheaper, it seems less than 20€, sitting ticket costs 25€+2.5€, 27.5 but you can sit through. There is no need to go down and crowd people, if you want to go down, you can go down and enjoy with the masses

About the seat ticket they have different stands, in fact, everyone choose their own on the line ~ recommend the first row so stand up to take photos is also convenient.

Put up
For those who are planning to stay, I can recommend a four-star hotel just above the street! Super convenient!! Direct official website booking is cheaper than the platform! But there are some three-star hotels around here that look good too! We wanted to live a little bit better because we are two girls, and the proximity was actually an unexpected surprise

Friends who like photography can choose a good day to take beautiful photos, and you can also take photos with the float before the parade begins, special film!!
