Experience Details*
Ready to choose your own adventure? Take a scenic drive to beautiful Lucca and spend a little time exploring at your leisure.
Stroll into this lovingly preserved ancient city, which is encircled by two miles of Renaissance defensive walls, and you’ll find dazzling sights at every turn.
Will you head to the heart of town to marvel at the Gothic cathedral and its dominating bell tower? Perhaps you’ll visit the statue of Giacomo Puccini, and possibly buy a ticket to take a look around his birth home?
You could simply wander around the maze of shadowed, cobbled streets lined with pastel-washed houses and duck into the many shops to browse for souvenirs. And if you fancy sampling the flavours of the region, you’ll never be far away from local cafés and trattorias where you can relax and treat yourself to a drink or lunch as the city buzzes around you.
