Many people visit Italy in summer. Take advantage of the good weather, visit ruins, churches, castles, museums and art galleries. But it is hot in Italy in summer, so taking a trip to the coast and taking a dip in the sea is not bad at all.

In the case of suffering days of heat on Florencethe best option is to get on the train and head towards Viareggio, the most important Tuscan city on the Versilia coast. Tuscany may not be associated with the sea, but it does have a beautiful coastline and the best known resort on it is Viareggio.

As a spa it had its splendor in the crazy 20s of the last century, but it is still a sought after destination when it comes to enjoying the sun, beach, sea food and nightlife. From that luxurious past, beautiful Art-Noveau style buildings have remained, today converted into restaurants, cafes and shops, all located on the boardwalk.

Mind you, I'm not saying that the whole city is picturesque, the coastal part is the best, but the Viareggio beaches They are good, with kiosks, sunbeds and umbrellas, showers and cafes. The waters are calm, ideal for swimming or to be with children, and since the beach is really long, although there are people, it is always comfortable.

La Viareggio beach, then, it is located an hour and a half by train from Florence. The railway station is located a kilometer or less from the beach itself. Finally, although Viareggio beach is the most convenient, there is another one that you could not miss, a little further away:  castliglioncello, with Blue Flag, rocks and sand, crystal clear waters and a water sports center. You can get here in less than two hours with a fast train.
