Despite its proximity to Florence and Pisa, Lucca is a Tuscan gem that is often skipped over by tourists. And if visited, it’s often only as a day trip. But with so much to offer, I can assure you that it’s worth spending a weekend in this splendid town. Lucca delivers all the charm one expects of a small Tuscan town, while still having a unique identity.
Getting to Lucca is especially convenient if you are traveling by train. The railway station is across the street from the town’s famous walls, making it a short walk into the centro storico. But don’t let the discreet view from outside the walls of Lucca fool you because inside, a delightful experience awaits!
