Bike rentals are a great way to explore the cobblestone streets and renaissance walls of Lucca! We highly recommend renting a bike for the day and riding around the top of the walls. There are plenty of places to stop for photo ops and to take in the beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside!
Piazza San Michele (or Saint Michael's Square) is a beautiful open square almost directly in the center of Old Lucca. The highlight of the square is the church of San Michele in Forno. The facade of the church, built in the 13th century, features a large series of sculptures and inlays (see the photos page for a beautiful picture of the church taken by Calli's dad, Mark). The square often hosts fun events such as musical performances and wine tastings, of which we will keep you updated!
Lucca has many options when it comes to delicious food, including 6 Michelin Starred restaurants. A favorite spot for handmade pasta and local dishes is Buca di Sant'Antonio. Located just off of St. Michael's Square, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Due to popularity, we would recommend making a reservation.
