Itinerary
Your tour begins at the Cappella Musicale Santa Cecilia
Your tour begins at the Cappella Musicale Santa Cecilia where you meet your local guide. You’ll kick things off in this grand square, surrounded by massive 19th-century palaces once inhabited by Napoleon’s sister during her reign over the city.
Taste buccellato at San Michele in Foro
Next, you’ll visit the stunning marble facade of San Michele in Foro, built over an ancient Roman forum. You’ll sample buccellato, a sweet, anise-scented bread so iconic that locals say you haven’t truly seen Lucca until you’ve tasted it.
Explore the iconic Piazza Anfiteatro
You’ll wander into the oval Piazza Anfiteatro, which perfectly preserves the shape of a former Roman arena. Your guide shares how this gladiator ring transformed into a vibrant social hub filled with bustling cafes and yellow-hued medieval houses.
Enjoy tordelli near San Frediano
Near the golden mosaics of San Frediano Basilica, you’ll dive into a plate of tordelli. These hearty, meat-filled pasta pockets are the stars of a Luccan Sunday lunch, served in a rich ragù that captures the authentic flavor of the region.
Pair wine and cold cuts in the center
Your journey continues past the tree-topped Guinigi Tower for a classic Tuscan aperitivo in a lively square. You’ll snack on fennel-scented salami and local pecorino cheese, all washed down with a glass of bold regional red wine.
