5Lucca – The Walled City

Lucca is known for its well-preserved Renaissance walls, which surround the historic center and provide a unique walkway for visitors to stroll or cycle.

This small, charming city is ideal for those looking for a quieter and more relaxed Tuscan experience. Lucca’s ancient Roman and medieval roots are evident in its architecture and layout, with winding streets, beautiful piazzas, and Romanesque churches.

Among Lucca’s highlights are the Guinigi Tower, which has trees growing atop it and provides stunning views over the city, and the Lucca Cathedral, known for its impressive marble facade. Piazza dell’Anfiteatro, a square built on the remains of a Roman amphitheater, is another popular spot where visitors can enjoy outdoor cafes and local shops.
