Tour description
Lucca is one of Tuscany's most charming and least spoiled cities, a graceful walled town famous for its perfectly intact Renaissance ramparts, now a tree-lined promenade circling the old centre. Rich in churches, towers and elegant lanes, it is the birthplace of the composer Puccini. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its treasures.
You will explore the remarkable oval Piazza dell'Anfiteatro built on a Roman amphitheatre, wander streets of medieval towers and churches, and hear about the merchants and musicians who made the city rich. Along the way you will discover the relaxed elegance of Lucca. Peaceful and beautiful, Lucca is a delight to explore on foot.
