Hotels in Lucca

For a taste of Tuscany that moves at a more relaxed pace, consider Lucca. This city is completely encircled by magnificent Renaissance walls, now a wide, tree-lined promenade perfect for a morning walk or bike ride. Inside, you’ll find a charming historic center of cobbled streets, Romanesque churches like San Michele in Foro, and the unique oval piazza built on the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre. The real draw is the atmosphere; it’s a living, breathing Italian town where you can sip an espresso in a quiet square and listen to opera drift from a church during the annual Lucca Summer Festival.

Lucca is ideal for couples and independent travelers seeking culture without the crowds of nearby Florence. The best area to stay is within the city walls, putting everything from the Guinigi Tower to elegant shopping on Via Fillungo right on your doorstep. The city is very walkable and well-connected, with its own train station offering easy routes to Pisa (a 25-minute ride) and the Tuscan coast.
