Lucca Holidays

Lucca holidays invite you to step back in time and enjoy one of Tuscany’s most charming and best-preserved medieval cities. With its fascinating history, elegant architecture and laid-back atmosphere, Lucca offers a slower pace of life compared with nearby Florence or Pisa, making it the ideal destination for a relaxing city break or a stop on a wider Tuscan adventure.

Encircled by Renaissance-era walls, Lucca’s historical centre is a delight to explore on foot or by bike. The tree-lined ramparts, which stretch for more than four kilometres, provide a scenic walkway overlooking terracotta rooftops and church spires. Within the walls, winding cobbled streets open onto lively piazzas, grand palaces and beautiful churches that reflect the city’s rich past.

Highlights include the Piazza dell’Anfiteatro, a unique oval square built on the site of a Roman amphitheatre, and the Duomo di San Martino, renowned for its intricate façade and treasured artworks.

Lucca holidays are also all about embracing Tuscan tradition. Sample rustic local cuisine in a family-run trattoria, sip regional wines in welcoming enotecas, and browse colourful markets selling everything from artisan olive oil to handmade crafts. Its compact size, pedestrian-friendly streets and relaxed vibe make Lucca an easy and rewarding city to explore at leisure.
