Introduction:

Visit the elegant and refined city of Lucca - a magnificent city of art. This tour focuses on the

centuries-old architecture of this picturesque walled city.

Admire the sculpted doorways, balconies, wrought-iron railings, and colorful coats-of-arms that grace the mansions and old shops along our route.

Lucca, founded by the Etruscans, be-came a Roman colony in 180 B.C. and actually prospered

under the silk trade during the 12th century.

Thanks to its lucrative olive-oil industry, Lucca today thrives much as it did in the Middle Ages.

On the way back to Livorno port we will visit Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa to find the famous Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, an unequalled masterpiece of Romanesque art, the Baptistery and other important monuments.

We can assist you to book pre-paid tickets for the Leaning Tower.

Please ask our booking office!
