Lucca is a Tuscan city enclosed by intact Renaissance walls, which you walk or cycle around. Inside are Romanesque churches, towers and a square shaped like an amphitheatre.
Practical tips
- Rent a bike to ride the walls: it costs little and is the most relaxing way.
- In summer the Amphitheatre square hosts concerts: check the programme.
- Try buccellato and Lucca-style tortelli with ragù.
When to go
From April to October; at the end of October Lucca Comics & Games takes place, with large crowds.
