Why Lucca Was Our Favorite Town in Tuscany
Lucca is a perfectly sized small city in Tuscany - perched close to but not quite on the Ligurian sea, a short drive or train ride from both Pisa and Florence, its well-preserved historic walls circle the historic city center, piazzas, and cobblestone streets. Puccini, the great opera composer was born here - as were pesto, focaccia, and panzanella. Nowhere near as touristy as other parts of Italy, Lucca is definitely worth a day trip from Florence, Pisa, or the Cinque Terre
