Viareggio, Tuscany Italy

This incredibly popular beach resort is renowned not only for its vibrant Mardi Gras Carnival, which is second only to Venice in terms of party atmosphere, but also for its row of once-magnificent art-nouveau buildings along the seafront, which hark back to the town's golden age in the 1920s and '30s. Viareggio's expansive golden-sand beach is filled with cafes, climbing structures, and other children's attractions. Except for the small public area opposite the fountain-filled Piazza Mazzini, the beach is divided into individual lots (stabilimenti) where you can rent cabins, umbrellas, loungers, and so on. Only a few of the buildings along the waterfront still maintain the ornate elegance of the 1920s and '30s, notably Puccini's favorite cafe, the 1929 Gran Caffè Margherita, and the neighboring wooden Chalet Martini, built in 1899.
