Walls of Lucca: A Walk Through History:
The first glimpse of Lucca is often its iconic Renaissance walls, which have stood the test of time since the 16th century. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll or rent a bike to explore the 4-kilometer path along the walls, enjoying panoramic views of the town’s red-tiled roofs and charming gardens. The lush greenery and the serene ambiance make it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
