Enclosed between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apuan Alps, at the very north of Tuscany, Versilia represents the fusion between nature and culture.It is known as the land of the sun and sea, but it offers so much more: this is a territory to discover exploring its various landscapes. Numerous itineraries offer suggestions for revealing the variety of Versilia in all its richness: biking along the coast at Forte dei Marmi; mountain-biking on the hills of Camaiore; hiking in the Apuan Alps; visiting the villages and medieval parishes; or strolling through the pine woods and along the beach at Viareggio and Torre del Lago Puccini.
A strip of straight coast which goes on for about 20 kilometres, enclosing hills cultivated with olives and vineyards, the lake area of Massaciuccoli, the peaks of the Apuan Alps and the presence of archaeological remains, roman parish churches, middle age towns, fortresses and castles are all a testimony of the history of this territory, inhabited since the Neolithic Era.In the summertime this is the meeting place for writers, artists, people of the entertainment industry and of a large number of culture heritage enthusiasts. In winter cultural, literary and cinema events gather experts and onlookers.
Such an extraordinary territory, scattered with fortresses, villages, coastal towers, representations of a historic past which traced the development of the main cities: Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, Viareggio on the Massarosa coastline near the lake of Massaciuccoli, Camaiore on the hills, Stazzema and Seravezza in the high Versilia region and to top it all those municipalities surrounded by minor settlements which can proudly boast natural treasures of exceptional value and a history rich of events.This is a place where everyone and every interest can be satisfied, making this a unique vacation destination.
