Activity itinerary

Baluardo San Colombano
  • 15m
Begin your journey through Lucca’s layered history at the weathered San Colombano Bastion, one of eleven mighty ramparts that form the city’s iconic walls. Step into its mysterious tunnels and learn about the bastion’s strategic importance in safeguarding the nearby Saint Peter Gate—a key entry point to the city since the 17th century.
Le mura di Lucca
  • 15m
Then, climb the staircase hidden within the bastion to reach Lucca’s legendary city walls, among the best preserved and second-largest Renaissance fortifications in Europe. Strolling along the elevated promenade, enjoy sweeping views of terracotta rooftops, hidden gardens, and centuries-old towers, all while reflecting on the battles that once raged outside these very walls.
Piazza Napoleone
  • 15m
Your walk continues to the expansive 17th-century Napoleon Square. Dominated by the stately Palazzo Ducale, this square served as the political nucleus of 19th-century Lucca and still radiates noble grandeur today.
Lucca Cathedral
  • 15m
Next, admire the quiet majesty of Lucca Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours, the town’s patron saint. With its graceful arcades and soft Gothic style, it offers a unique architectural contrast to the more austere cathedrals of Florence, embodying Lucca’s distinctive character.
Porta San Gervasio
  • 15m
Continue your route to San Gervasio Gate, one of the four surviving gates from the 13th century. The twin towers still preserve medieval features like battlements and the remains of the original moat, offering a glimpse into medieval military engineering.
Torre delle Ore
  • 15m
As you pass the towering 14th-century Clock Tower—the tallest in Lucca—pause to appreciate its striking timepiece and the folklore attached to it. Legends whisper of a young woman who tried to stop time itself and paid the ultimate price, adding a touch of mystery to this city landmark.
Via Fillungo
  • 15m
After that, stroll along Via Fillungo, Lucca’s medieval main street, winding through the heart of the old town. Once named after a powerful noble family from Garfagnana, today it bustles with traditional shopfronts, artisan boutiques, and charming façades, a perfect way to soak in the vibrant atmosphere of Lucca’s historic center.
Piazza dell'Anfiteatro
  • 15m
Wrap up your journey at the captivating Amphitheater Square, where echoes of the Roman past remain embedded in its elliptical shape. Built atop the ruins of a Roman amphitheater, the lively square is now a haven of open-air markets, cafés, and restaurants. It’s the perfect spot to rest your feet and watch Lucca’s living history unfold before your eyes.
