Today I’ll take you to a very nice and interesting locality of Tuscany: Viareggio. This is a little but big city in the Tirrenian coast, famous not only for the beautiful sea and sand with very organized beach areas but also for a lot of other attractions. Rich of pubs, bars, luxurious hotels, restaurants, shops and every kind of entertainment places, Viareggio is not only a destination for summertime’s holidays ( often for celebrities): in winter too you can have a very good time going to see or to take part at the local “Mardi Gras”. The Carnevale di Viareggio is very famous and appreciate in Italy, almost like the Venetian’s one. In this days Viareggio’s streets seems like a little Rio de Janeiro, with fanciful masked wagons characterizing different politics or italian celebrity (but not limited) life’s themes, and costumed people that follow them singing, dancing and laughing!
Speaking about dance and songs, if you like music there are a lot of theatres and clubs that often accommodate very famous artists and if you prefer opera, very near Viareggio you can find Torre del lago Puccini, where during the summer you can assist at the Puccinian Season, with the performance of the lyric theatres of the great Giacomo Puccini, in the suggestive open theatre in front of the lake, and just near the house of the famous Italian composer.
Enjoy your holiday, in any seasons you’ll have it.

Hello!
We are planning a trip from May 13-16 2010. Do you anticipate that construction will be complete by then? Also, are you able to book transportation from the airport to your hotel and then from the hotel to the cruise port? Your hotel looks beautiful, I am very impressed! Any other bits of information would be appreciated, which room to choose, etc.
Thank you in advance for your trouble!
Mrs. Vicki
