ADVERTORIAL<br />

Avis offers strategically located pick-up points across Italy, so whether you arrive<br />

by air, land or sea, you can enjoy a quick and easy check-in, giving you more<br />

time to spend exploring Italy’s incredible landscapes and historic sites.<br />

Tuscan Coast<br />

& Liguria<br />

With the help of our friends at Avis, our Ultimate Road Trips<br />

itineraries are carefully designed so that you can easily<br />

explore our favourite hidden destinations across Italy. There’s<br />

always plenty to do at each stop, so if you wish to swap any<br />

details or add more nights to our suggested itineraries then<br />

our Personal Travel Planners are here to help.<br />

This season, we take you on a fortnight-long road trip through the idyllic<br />

Tuscan Coast and Liguria, which starts and ends at the international<br />

airport for your convenience. Stay in our handpicked selection of<br />

authentic accommodation that reflects these lesser-visited regions.<br />

Days 1-5 Viareggio<br />

Start your journey in Pisa, where you can pick up your hire car from the<br />

airport. We suggest you head straight to the coastal town of Viareggio,<br />

a 30-minute drive away, to immediately tune into the holiday spirit with<br />

its six miles of beautiful coastline.<br />

Take long strolls on the palm-lined promenade, which is backed by<br />

dramatic art deco architecture. A former playground for the rich and<br />

famous, the Italian composer Puccini once resided here and has a<br />

museum dedicated to his life and music.<br />

Using Viareggio as your base, we encourage you to escape to golden<br />

beaches and their bagni (beach clubs), such as Lido di Camaiore, just a<br />

15-minute drive north.<br />

Or you might like to drive to the historic walled city of Lucca, 30<br />

minutes away, where you can get lost in its labyrinthine pedestrianised<br />

cobbled streets and quaint Renaissance piazzas.<br />

Suggested Stay: Grand Hotel Royal - Viareggio<br />
