Why Lucca City Walls matters
Lucca's huge ramparts, never needed for defence, are now a leafy elevated park around the old town. Rent a bike and make a full circle, then enjoy the elliptical piazza built on a Roman amphitheatre.
Talking points
- Walls are around four kilometres around.
- Bike rental is easy.
- Piazza dell'Anfiteatro follows a Roman shape.
- A small town with a pleasant atmosphere.
