Lucca Things To Do

Exploring the medieval city of Lucca will provide holiday makers with undiscovered treasures around every corner. Often described as an open air museum this city is awash with stunning architecture dating back to the 16^th century including majestic palaces, churches, and castles. Mix these sites with beautiful beaches, exciting Italian cities and the stunning Tuscany countryside for the perfect Italy holiday.

 

Lucca is a mere 30 minutes from the beautiful Italian beaches just south of Versilia. Between Viareggio and Pisa there are numerous sandy beaches that can be enjoyed during the long hot summer months. A day out at the beach can include stopping off at the best seafood restaurants along the beachfront area and taking a cruise along the coast.

 

A day trip from Lucca should include the incredibly romantic city of Florence. Pisa with its iconic leaning tower is a mere 30 minutes from Lucca and will provide holiday makers with a wealth of sightseeing, dining and shopping options. Tuscany is one of the world’s famous wine growing locations and private wine tasting tours of the famous vineyards and medieval cellars can easily be arranged.

 

With a hot climate and the stunning Tuscany scenery it is not surprising that golf in Lucca has become a popular sport. The 18-hole golf course at Versilia Golf Club is one of the most popular in the area and is open from March through September. Boasting some tricky water hazards this beautiful course will delight both beginners and more seasoned players.

 

If youa are on holiday in Lucca and you are looking for nightlife, it can be as laid back or as lively as holiday makers wish. Summer evenings are pleasantly warm and perfect for Italian dinners on the restaurant terraces. There are many stylish bars and cafes in which to sip some Tuscan wine, mix with the locals, and enjoy some first class Italian cuisine.
