About Lucca
Lucca rewards first-time visitors with something rare: a fully intact Renaissance wall you can walk, cycle or ride around, wrapped around a medieval centre of towers, piazzas and churches. Start on two wheels with Lucca Bikes and Bites: Historic Walls, Local Tastes & City Exploration, which pairs the ramparts with local tastings, or take the short, elegant Lucca Classic: Carriage Tour in the Historic Heart if you would rather see the old town from a horse-drawn seat.

Frequently asked questions
Lucca's historic centre is compact and flat, so a guided walk or bike ride covers the highlights quickly: the Guinigi Tower, Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, San Frediano and the walls themselves. A first-timer tour gives you the layout, the medieval and Renaissance history, and a sense of where to return later, rather than leaving you to decode the city.
