Marco Rossi

Ciao! I started traveling around Italy in 2017 and finally I moved here to live, because Italy is the epicenter of art, history and beauty. I will show you Italy from the most interesting sides, will share with you secrets and traditions of this country and will help make your trip unforgettable.

Lucca is a small city in Italy, whose sights attract thousands of tourists. Its uniqueness lies in the framing of the old city with a ring of fortress walls that have not been destroyed over the centuries, unlike other cities in the country. Lucca has a great religious and historical heritage.

Lucca is located on the banks of the Sirchio River, which flows into the Ligurian Gulf 30 km from the city. Lucca is part of Tuscany, located in the northwest of the region, not far from Pisa.

Expert Tips

Marco Rossi

Ride a bike

A very interesting and popular pastime in Lucca is cycling. You can rent a bike and ride along the city walls (there are plenty of bike shops all over the city).

Marco Rossi

Go to the sea

Lucca is located just 30 kilometers from the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. You can set aside one or more days to relax by the sea.

Marco Rossi

Lucca Comics and Games

Is Europe’s largest (and 2nd largest) comics festival takes place here at the end of October and attracts crowds from all over the world. A big hit among many teenagers.

Marco Rossi

Be sure to try Buccellato

Buccellato is a typical Lucca sweet bread whose name goes back to ancient Roman times, when the word “buccellatum” referred to soldiers’ bread, which later evolved into the medieval meaning of sweet bread. The first mention of the word buccellato appears in a document from 1485.

Marco Rossi

Climb Torre Guinigi – a tower with oaks on top

The tower is about 45 meters high and you will need to climb about 230 steps to get to the top. The ascent is not difficult, but the last section can be difficult for people with dizziness.

Stories of Our Customers

Recommended restaurants

Buca di Sant'Antonio

Buca di Sant'Antonio

Via della Cervia, 3

Buca di Sant’Antonio is a study in understated elegance. Its white linen tablecloths, suited wait staff, and courtly maître d’ are counterpoised by the hundreds of copper pots hanging from the ancient wooden beams that span the ceiling of the main dining room, and complemented by the warm, friendly demeanor of the entire staff.The restaurant makes all their pasta from scratch, and you can taste it. Their Tagliolini with Butter and Black Truffles is decadent and magical, and their Tortellini first rate.

Ristorante Giglio

Ristorante Giglio

Piazza del Giglio, 2

The Michelin-star restaurant is situated in an 18th-century palazzo, and the avant-garde dishes are so inventive and prepared so exquisitely that they truly are works of art. There is also an extensive wine list that will satisfy any palate.

Ciacco

Ciacco

P.za Napoleone, 10

Da Ciacco is the perfect place to enjoy simply delicious food at reasonable prices. Eat in the cozy dining room or at the outdoor tables overlooking Piazza Napoleone. A meal here is a generous portion of Italian pleasure.

Buccellato Taddeucci

Buccellato Taddeucci

P.za San Michele, 34

You can't say that you've been to Lucca if you haven't tried at least a piece of buccellato, but mind you, not every buccellato would come in handy. The most famous buccellato is the one you can get at Taddeucci Patisserie, a gourmet shop founded in 1881. It looks like an old grocery store with huge display cases crammed with desserts, cakes and sweet breads. The store is easy to find right in the historic center of Lucca, in Piazza San Michele, next to the church of the same name.

Shopping streets

Via Fillungo

Via Fillungo

Notable street

The market, which takes place every Wednesday and Sunday morning between Porta Elisa and Porta S. Jacopo, offers a wide variety of goods, from local delicacies to clothing and interesting souvenirs.

Lucca Antique Market

Lucca Antique Market

Via del Battistero

With over 200 exhibitors from all over Italy, the Lucca Antique Market is considered one of the most important markets in Italy, not only for its large selection of exhibits, but also for its unusual setting in the streets and squares of the city. The central part of the market is located on Via del Battistero, called "Via degli Antiquari" all year round for its exclusive furniture and handicraft shops.

Lucca Farmers Market

Lucca Farmers Market

Via per Camaiore, 125

The Farmers Market is the best place to find typical, traditional and local products, as well as suggestions and recipes directly from local producers. A stone's throw from the river park, the farmers' market is a great excuse to stock up on supplies before a bike ride with a picnic, or try some local produce. There are about twenty local farmers for all kinds of food, including a fresh fish stall from nearby Versilia and a florist's stall with seasonal flowers.

Dangerous and recommended areas of the city

0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100

Lucca is a fairly safe city. The only thing is that you should be careful in the area of the station, because as in all cities at the stations you can meet suspicious people, scammers and pickpockets.

Amelia Lee

Crystalina, I returned from an 11-day trip in northern Italy after having the kind help of you to plan and build the itinerary. Happily, your recommendations were incredibly accurate and detailed, including parking, recommendations for restaurants and even leading ice cream parlors. We arrived at magical places, don't want to think what would have happened without your planning?! Thank you very much, Crystalina.

user

Anthony Long

We decided to fly and opened up to Crystalina 10 days before the flight. Crystalina found out exactly what we wanted and built us an incredibly accurate trip. She found accommodations that just suited us, and attractions that just suited us. And in the process we had one problem, Crystalina immediately mobilized, made phone calls and solved the problem for us from the country. For everything we received an exact link and a map, including opening hours. Thanks to Crystalina, we had a calm and flowing trip. Thank you so much, Crystalina!

Ava Martinez
