Lucca - Accommodation, Restaurants, Golf, Sightseeing, Attractions - Detailed interactive location map



Lucca, the birthplace of Giacomo Puccini is a lovely walled city. Its thick swathe of Renaissance walls, the almost entirely medieval street plan, its palaces and houses make Lucca one of my favorite cities in Italy. The most enjoyable way to get your bearings is to follow the path around the top of the walls - or even better, to rent a bike and cycle around. Lucca can be easily explored on foot (or bike), entering the medieval streets, walking along ancient house facades and doing some shoppings in one of the small and lovely shops in and around Via Fillungo makes you feel just fine.
If you are interested in religious art, enter the 14th-century cathedral Duomo San Martino to see Nicola Pisano’s Descent From the Cross or have a look at the multi-patterned columns at "San Michele", the church of the archangel. Climbing up the Guinigi Tower, where an old oak tree grows on top is even as romantic as entering the Piazza Anfiteatro, the ancient amphitheatre, with its marvellous facades and balconies.
Lucca is famous for its olive oil and has become a favorite spot for artists and writers. Although you can see Lucca in half a day as a day trip from either Pisa or Florence you may want to linger to soak in its tranquil atmosphere and enjoy the many fine restaurants. Every August Lucca hosts the Puccini Music Festival. If you have some time left, try to visit a few of the villas of Lucca.

Shopping Lucca

Via Fillungo is one of the main streets in Lucca. It is lined with clothing/shoe and accessory shops, inter-mingled with restaurants and some interesting old buildings. It is the place to shop in Lucca.

When visiting Tuscany you shouldn't miss their delicious olive oil. Tuscany is renowned for its good quality and tasty olive oil. There is a wide choice concerning olive oil: "simple" or mixed with some great herbs or condiments such as basil, oregano, pepper and many other options. Prices will, obviously, depend on make and shop.

Ristorante Caffetteria San Colombano
The Ristorante Caffetteria San Colombano was built inside the ancient homonymous rampart on the urban walls of Lucca, by restoring the existent structure of the tower and creating functional spaces without interfering with the pre-existing walls; the Ristorante Caffetteria San Colombano thus becomes a meeting place, an open air museum, a defence rampart, as well as a resting place and a shelter.
It offers a menu with a selection of typical Lucchese dishes, changing with each season, and a new varieties of international dishes as well as the chef’s creative dishes.
Surrounded by this magical atmosphere you will be able to enjoy a surreal view produced by the contrasting effects of daylight and evening lights which render the landscape particularly fascinating.
Thanks to the structure of the restaurant, designed with French windows, during the summer you will be able to enjoy the pleasant breeze typical of the walls while comfortably sitting at your table.
