Lucca City Walls
Lucca's Renaissance city walls are unique in Italy: they were never breached in battle and have been converted into a 4.2-kilometer tree-lined promenade that circles the entire old town. Free to walk or cycle.

Lucca
3 things to see
Lucca is a walled Tuscan city where the complete circuit of Renaissance walls is free to walk or cycle, a tree-lined loop that doubles as the city’s park. It is a less-crowded and cheaper alternative to Florence, and the old town within the walls is free to wander on foot. Nearby Pisa is a short, cheap train ride away, making the two an easy budget pairing.
