Living in Versilia means enjoying a region that amazes in every season. At Christmas, this prestigious corner of Tuscany lights up with magic: historic towns, creative cities and seaside resorts come alive with sparkling lights, markets, music and art. It’s one more reason to discover—or rediscover—the exceptional quality of life that defines this unique area, where sea, culture and well-being blend naturally.
Pietrasanta: a Christmas village of art, atmosphere and tradition
The “Little Athens” of Versilia shines with creativity. Christmas 2025 began as early as late November, with light installations embracing Piazza Duomo, the historic centre and Marina di Pietrasanta, transforming the entire city into a scenic illuminated trail. The traditional Christmas Village fills the main square with wooden chalets, artisans, nativity scenes and local sweets. Art workshops and galleries stay open in the evening too, offering the chance to discover unique pieces and refined gifts.
The Musica dei Cieli festival brings sacred and spiritual music to the city’s churches, creating moments of pure enchantment. An elegant and relaxed Christmas, perfect for those who imagine Versilia as a place where culture and a high quality of life coexist effortlessly.
Forte dei Marmi: elegance, Christmas shopping and chic charm
In Forte dei Marmi, Christmas is synonymous with style. The central streets, from Via Carducci to Piazza Garibaldi, turn into a luminous promenade: boutiques decorated like jewels, inspiring concept stores and historic pastry shops scented with citrus and chocolate.
The Christmas Market at the Fortino is one of the most refined on the coast, with beautifully designed chalets, gourmet specialties, contemporary crafts and high-quality gift ideas. Here, Christmas is experienced strolling among elegant lights, small musical events and an atmosphere that blends calm and sophistication—just as Forte dei Marmi knows how to do.
Seravezza: winter art at Palazzo Mediceo
In Seravezza, the magic of the holidays meets the allure of art. Christmas 2025 brings to Palazzo Mediceo the exhibition Un giorno dopo l’altro, organized by Mercurio Arte Contemporanea.
The showcase brings together twelve artists who, over the years, have collaborated with the historic Viareggio-based gallery, active since 1996. Tuscan and Ligurian painters narrate the evolution of contemporary figurative art through a variety of styles and expressive languages.
Curated by Gianni Costa and held in collaboration with Fondazione Terre Medicee, the exhibition is open from 29 November to 11 January. As tradition dictates, the annual desk calendar inspired by the exhibition has also been produced—a well-loved object among art enthusiasts.
An event that enriches Christmas in Versilia with culture, history and beauty.
Camaiore: an authentic Christmas among hills, villages and community spirit
Those seeking a warm, genuine and tradition-filled Christmas will love Camaiore. Shops, cafés and small local businesses animate the centre and the hillside villages, creating an inviting and convivial atmosphere.
Among the most anticipated events is the Merry Walk, a twilight walk through the hilltop hamlets. Headlamps, Santa hats and a long luminous trail winding along the paths like a moving living nativity scene.
The historic centre hosts CamaChristmas, featuring Santa’s House, Christmas markets in Via Vittorio Emanuele, the Nativity Village with over eighty participants, living nativity scenes, creative workshops, street bands, buskers and music throughout the neighbourhoods.
An authentic Christmas that reflects the true soul of the Camaiore community.
Viareggio: lights, sea and an energetic, wide-spread Christmas
Viareggio presents itself with a completely renewed look. The 2025 illuminations—expanded and redesigned—light up not only the Promenade but also the districts of Marco Polo, Darsena and Torre del Lago.
The entire city becomes a continuous trail of artistic installations, markets, music, widespread events and sparkling atmospheres.
Highlights include street bands, gospel choirs, performances by the historic Corale Puccini, artisan and charity markets, the Luna Park in Piazza d’Azeglio, the ice-skating rink in Piazza Margherita, DJ sets and seaside festive events.
A dynamic Christmas, perfect for those who love the city and its unique vibrant energy.
