When in Tuscany you have to visit Lucca and the surrounding area.We came to Lucca and found a beautiful town,friendly,clean,excellent access facilities as our daughter has to use a wheelchair.The shops and restaurants are excellent value and all were helpful and welcoming.Yes I know we are on holidays and of course they are because they want you to spend money with them,well we are well travelled and its a genuine friendliness,helpful attitude even if you do not buy anything.We thoroughly recommend a visit to Lucca,access to parking and walking around are excellent.

Take the time ot walk the wall. Bring a picnic lunch and sit on one of the many benches while you take in the view.

The history is palpable, the views serene, and the experience both very relaxing and inspiring. Take the walk...
