Itinerary
You will meet your guide just outside the train station and in a few steps you will see the majestic city walls which represent the pride of Lucca. After a brief historical introduction we will be on the top of the fortification ready to enjoy a short relaxing stroll along the tree-lined boulevards, while you listen to the anecdotes of the town and admire beautiful landscapes.
Duration: 15 minutes
Our walk moves down to the city centre discovering the medieval fascinating narrow alleys that lead us to the magnificent Romanesque marble Cathedral. You will get to know interesting stories and the meaning the people from Lucca give to them just before heading into the charming Napoleon square aligned by secular sycamores. This square plays an important role for the city, today as in the past, hosting the Lucca Summer festival event every July.
Duration: 30 minutes
After this pleasant stroll you will experience our first foodie stop near the popular San Michele Square; we will visit a friendly bakery attended by locals who come here to enjoy a drink and try a piece of cecina, a kind of focaccia made with “mysterious” ingredients.
Duration: 30 minutes
The lively shopping street of Via Fillungo is very close on our Lucca walk and you will find out with your guide some of the most elegant artisan parlours in town. Fashion, leather, local food and wine and perfumes - this could be the perfect moment to get familiar with some authentic souvenirs to pick up from your Tuscan trip. In the middle of the road, you can also admire the Romanesque San Frediano Church.
Duration: 15 minutes
Our tour will lead us then to explore Lucca’s most authentic public area, the Amphitheatre. The square, ingeniously created on top of a Roman amphitheatre. Afterwards, dive into the past as your guide shows you Lucca’s most famous symbol, the iconic Guinigi tower, very famous for the trees placed on the roof terrace.
Duration: 15 minutes
You can’t become a real Italian for a day if you don’t take part in the traditional aperitivo ritual in town. Your guide will teach you where and how people from Lucca like to enjoy a glass of wine and some delicious snacks. We will stop at a glamorous Vineria located in a fascinating place and you will finally relax during the sunset awaiting for the wine and food of the day. Here we’ll say ‘arrivederci’ to you, but the night is not over, don’t forget to ask your guide for some tips on nightlife. Salute!
