Viareggio straddles the Burlamacca Canal beside the Tyrrhenian Sea in northwestern Tuscany, a position that established it as both a maritime port and a seaside resort. The Passeggiata waterfront promenade passes cafés, beach clubs and early-20th-century Liberty-style buildings along the sandy coast. Since 1873, the Viareggio Carnival has been known for enormous allegorical papier-mâché floats, often with sharply satirical themes. Beyond the coastal plain, the Apuan Alps rise inland.
