Enter your dates and see what NoStressTravel has for your exact stay.
Lucca is one of the best-preserved Renaissance cities in Italy, surrounded by mighty 16th-century walls that have today been transformed into a tree-lined promenade. This Tuscan gem, birthplace of composer Giacomo Puccini, hides narrow cobblestone streets, Romanesque churches, and an elliptical square that reveals a secret — it was once a Roman amphitheater. Visit Lucca to experience authentic Tuscany without the crowds, with a glass of local wine and a view of endless olive groves.

Everything you need for Lucca in one place
Renaissance walls from the 16th and 17th centuries, approximately 4.2 km long, one of the few in Italy to have remained completely intact. Along the top of the walls, a promenade and cycling path have been laid out, popular with both locals and visitors. Access is free, with several entry ramps distributed around the city.
A Romanesque cathedral dedicated to St. Martin, whose construction dates back to the 11th century, featuring a richly decorated facade of green and white marble. Inside, it houses the Volto Santo — a wooden effigy of Christ — and the tomb of Ilaria del Carretto, an early Renaissance masterpiece by Jacopo della Quercia. Entrance to the cathedral itself is free, while the museum section requires a ticket.
An elliptical square that has preserved the exact shape of a 2nd-century Roman amphitheater, visible also in the outlines of the surrounding buildings erected directly on ancient foundations. Cafes and shops line the square, and the space remains lively throughout the day and evening. Access is through four narrow passages in the residential block that surrounds the square.
Colline Lucchesi is a wine-growing area in the surroundings of Lucca, known for the production of red and white wines.
