From Viareggio you reach Lucca in about 20 minutes by train, and in the evening you're back on Viareggio's seafront promenade, 50 m from the beach. Lucca Comics & Games 2026 runs from October 28 to November 1: the home is already booked for those dates, so message us about 2027.
From October 28 to November 1, 2026, Lucca hosts the 60th edition of its comics and games festival, with pavilions and events spread across the city's streets and historic buildings.
Dates and figures from Multiplayer.it (November 3, 2025) and SmartWorld (September 24, 2026), in Italian, checked on October 13, 2026. The program and tickets are on the official Lucca Comics & Games website.
Lucca is 34 km away. You sleep by the sea, in a home all to yourself, and take the train to the festival.
Direct regional trains run from Viareggio station to Lucca, usually one or two an hour. The station is 1.3 km from the home.
Two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and two single sofa beds in the mezzanine lounge. The bedrooms face the inner courtyard: after the festival, you get a quiet night's sleep.
Two bathrooms with showers, one per bedroom, and two sleeping areas on two levels: getting ready in the morning is less of a rush, cosplay included.
Step out the front door and you're on Viareggio's seafront promenade, 50 m from the beach. Or have dinner at home: a fully equipped kitchen and a supermarket 50 meters away.
“Very well furnished and very practical apartment for our group of 4 friends. We found milk, cookies, coffee and more for breakfast and as a welcome gift. The owner was very helpful and always on hand; he was flexible with our check-in (late in the evening) and a late check-out. We stayed for Lucca Comics, but we're also thinking about coming in the summer.”
We recommend the train: from your front door to the pavilions without a car, and without hunting for parking in Lucca.
