What to do and see in Lucca, Tuscany: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

February 10, 2022 Mikaela Didonna

Lucca's array of wonderfully intact historical sites makes it a must-see stop on any Tuscan itinerary. The medieval city walls still stand—you can hike or bike on top of them. Also visit the Duomo di San Martino and the Roman amphitheater.

Wow, Yesterday, 25/10/2020, we had an amazing meeting with the wonderful couple Tze'ela & Mauro, from Cooking in Toscana. Cooking lessons with participants from all over the world, how to make Ribollita soup. A pleasure to go step by step, in cooking preparations, helpful explanations, and see the stimulating end result, too bad it is impossible to pass a dish through the media. Thank you, Tze'ela & Mauro, waiting for the next zoom cooking lesson and hoping to come to Italy and visit your farm for other cooking classes.

Guide Turistiche La Giunchiglia Day Tours

La Giunchiglia came into being in Lucca in the early 1980s. It was set up by a group of young art history students who simply loved their home town and wanted to devote their future and make a career out of making its history and art better known organizing Walking tours of Lucca. Lucca was scarcely known on the tourist track at that time and opportunities for having the pleasure of showing it to visitors were few, so many of us were soon forced to turn to other cultural activities and ended up acting as tour guides as a hobby. We increased our knowledge of Lucca and the surrounding area by going to different courses and finding out more and more about our history, art, archaeology, botany, traditions and the things that are produced here, such as wine and extra virgin olive oil. We tried to focus on everything that would enhance the quality of our tours, and to promote Lucca through the Web. In the last few years, La Giunchiglia introduced all the other Tuscan provinces: Florence, Siena, Pisa, Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Massa Carrara, Pistoia and Prato. We are able to create customized tours in every of these historical sites or help you in creating the perfect tour for you and you family, or for your group. Ours ...is a passion that became the best job we could possibly have in our beloved land, Tuscany and we want to share it with everyone who comes to visit!

Torre Guinigi

This tower is easily recognizable: it has a leaning tree growing out of its top.

Piazza Anfiteatro

This city square is built on an ancient Roman amphitheater situated in the heart of Lucca's historical center.

Reviewed By 53wanderer - Gold Coast, Australia

The current anfiteatro is based on the former Roman amphitheatre dating back to the 1st or 2nd centuries. The ring of buildings surrounding the space follows the shape of the ancient amphitheatre. Most of these buildings now contain restaurants or shops that sell souvenirs of Lucca. The central area is lined with restaurants that are well patronised and serve drinks and meals aimed at the tourist market. We went there one afternoon for an aperitivo and ended up staying for pizza which we all enjoyed. These restaurants tend to be open till late in the evening. There are usually markets there on Wednesdays and special occasions. We visited there after midnight on a festival evening and the markets were still buzzing. You will find tourist groups meandering through the anfiteatro throughout the day. A piece of artwork in the centre appears to be a popular place for group photos and selfies. There are 4 large gateway allowing entry to the anfiteatro. It is just off Via Fillungo, the main shopping street and very easy to locate.

Basilica of San Frediano

Reviewed By Ylandre - Cape Town Central, South Africa

As with a few other Lucca attractions this Basilica calls for a visit. Artwork, carvings, displays are worth every minute of the visit. The monumental golden mosaic on the facade is breathtaking. The 12th century baptismal font is a must see. This is also the resting place for Santa Zita (1212-1272) and she is on display inside the Basilica. Please be respectful when visiting the Basilica and dress appropriately.
