At Carnival time, every campsite's ready to welcome you

5 suggested campsites

The Carnival is not just a chance to have fun and celebrate with friends. Anyone who has the "camping spirit" considers it the perfect reason to leave domestic life behind and go on an adventure. Don't know where to go yet? Take a look at these 3 possibilities!

In Viareggio, the show is guaranteed


The Carnival of Viareggio is a spectacular event, among the most characterful in Italy and the world
. It was first held back in 1873, and today, with its lively allegorical floats, it is a regular feature on live national TV. For a whole month the city comes alive with festivities, day and night, so Viareggio's campsites are open and ready to welcome anybody in search of fun. One more reason to choose the Carnival of Viareggio? This year is dedicated to women!

In Ivrea, they celebrate by throwing oranges


Famous for its spectacular three-day Battle of the Oranges, the historic Carnival of Ivrea commemorates the people's revolt against the Marquis of Monferrato
, who was guilty of starving the city. According to legend, the one who freed the citizens from tyranny was Violetta, the "Vezzosa Mugnaia" ("Beautiful Miller"), the symbol of freedom and heroine of the festival. Those taking part in the event, residents and visitors, go down the streets wearing the Berretto Frigio (Phrygian Cap), a red sock-shaped headdress that symbolises the revolt and the aspiration to freedom. If you also want to experience the Carnival freely, choose a campsite in Ivrea!

In Acireale, a carnival with the sun


Listed by the Guardian in 2017 as among the 10 most beautiful in Europe, the Carnival of Acireale is also one of the oldest in Sicily
. While in February you can admire the parade of allegorical-grotesque papier-mache floats, in April the "Carnival of Flowers" takes place, with floats made entirely of real flowers. Until last year the event was free, but non-residents now have to pay an entrance fee of €5, offset however by the presence of DJ sets and special guests. Together with the island's mild climate and the beauty of the surroundings, it's one more reason to camp in Acireale!
