unwinding. Visiting and holidaying in Tuscany is something every vacationer
would want to experience. The city of Lucca in the Tuscany region is yet
another wonderful attraction to explore because of is fame for Gothic features,
Renaissance buildings, museums, art galleries and parks. |
Lucca is part
and parcel of Tuscany; the abode of the admirable Romanesque Architecture
which is always on display and can be seen from all over the town. The
San Michele and San Martino cathedrals are just two very good examples
of the Romanesque architecture that should be on any traveler's itinerary
to Lucca. The geographical position of Lucca also favors the town so much
in terms of its sizeable tourism potential. Lucca can be found close to
the Serchio River; about 80km from Florence and 30km from Pisa. The town
of Lucca itself dwells upon a plateau with the Apuane Alps watching over
it. The medieval walls which characterize the town are thick and strong.
These walls were originally built in the 16th century but they still stand
till today; thus surrounding the entire town. As part of a walking tour,
one can take a stroll along or on top of the walls. This way of exercise
alone offers a very good opportunity to see many hidden sight-stops. However,
if this will be so much stressful to you, how about going for a biking
or walking outing to visit the must-see sights so as to enjoy an enriching
travel or holiday experience to Lucca?
