Lucca Hotels
Lucca is a gorgeous, beautiful old city that sparks love at the first site thanks to its rich history, handsome churches and smattering of excellent restaurants and lovely hotels. Hidden behind imposing Renaissance walls, this serene city is an essential stopover on any Tuscan tour and charming base for exploring the Apuane Alps and Garfagnana.
Founded by the Etruscans, Lucca became a Roman colony in the 180 BC and a free
comune the 12th century, when it enjoyed a period of prosperity based on the silk trade.
This prosperous and graceful provincial capital is encased by peculiarly elegant 16th-century walls - protective as well as decorative. To get a sense of the city take a stroll or a bicycle ride alond the top of the walls, which are planted with plane trees and provide a lovely view; note the grid layout of the streets, a remnant of the city's Roman past. More than other Italians, Luccans tend to ride bicycles, and this make the city a bit more pedestrian-friendly than most in Italy. Because of this charming and quite enviroment lots of visitors tend to spend more time in this marvelous town at one of the 57
