Carnival Citadella

Discover the magic atmosphere of the Carnival at Cittadella del Carnevale in Viareggio

Welcome to the Hotel Tahiti, your gateway to the enchanted world of the Viareggio's Carnival, whose famous floats are built in the imposing Cittadella del Carnevale. Located in the heart of Viareggio, close to Via Santa Maria Goretti, the Cittadella is an essential cultural hub that brings the famous Viareggio's Carnival to life through its unique architecture and vibrant art scene.

Architectural Wonder

The Carnival Citadella is not just a venue; it is a huge, circular complex reminiscent of the grandeur of an amphitheatre. Consisting of sixteen enormous sheds forming a central square, this architectural jewel serves as a creative playground for the master carnival artists. Here, clay, plaster and paper are transformed into the impressive animated floats that parade through the streets during the carnival season, a truly unmissable show!

A Square of Celebrations

In the centre of the Cittadella there is a large square, framed by sheds. This square serves as an ideal setting for festivals and theatrical performances. The doors of the sheds, when closed, resemble the wings of a large stage, which, when opened, reveal the majestic carnival floats—each a masterpiece and an actor in the fascinating spectacle of the Viareggio Carnival.

The Artists' Route

Surrounding the central square is the elliptical Strada degli Artisti, a lively street where artisans and masters show off their skills. This perimeter street is a cultural meeting point, offering visitors the chance to interact with the artists and observe the magic of float construction up close.

A summer of celebrations

During summer, Citadella becomes an open-air theater, hosting a variety of events from rock concerts to comedy and musical shows. It's a season of happiness, music and art under the open skies. Thanks to all those events, Hotel Tahiti is the perfect destination for who seeks culture and loves festivals.
