Useful information for visiting Lucca

By car, Lucca is served by the A11 Firenze-Mare and A12 Genova-Rosignano motorways; the historic center is protected by a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL), so the most practical way to get around is to park outside the walls and explore on foot.

By train, the station is a few minutes from Porta San Pietro, with frequent connections to Pisa, Florence, and Viareggio. By plane, the nearest airports are Galileo Galilei in Pisa and Amerigo Vespucci in Florence.

Regarding where to stay: within the walls to experience the city intensely, in the surrounding area for the best balance between practicality and cost, or in the outskirts for those who want rural Tuscany, with agriturismo and tranquility.
