3. Passeggiata di Viareggio

Walking along Passeggiata di Viareggio gives foreigners an authentic Italian experience. Not many locals speak English, so visitors should be prepared to converse using hand gestures. Take part in some of Italy’s finest traditions, such as taking a “passeggiata” (an evening stroll) down the boardwalk.

The Arno River travels gently through Florence on its 150-mile (240-kilometer) journey from Mount Falterona to the Tyrrhenian Sea. During Roman times this was a significant resource to the city and allowed merchants to bring wealth by trade links with the Mediterranean. Walk the banks of the Arno River today to see iconic bridges and resplendent palaces. Cruise the river waters by boat and rafting tours.
