Hiking

Lucca has one of the most impressive, completely preserved city walls in Europe. The wall with the Italian name "Mura di Lucca" is almost 4 km long and completely surrounds the old town. The city wall is more than 10 meters high in many places. It used to be possible to enter the city through 6 gates, today there are more entrances. There is a wide circular path on the tree-planted wall.

Hiking

The city wall was built against the original rampart. Therefore, the city wall is very wide, offering pedestrians and cyclists plenty of space to walk around the city in the shade of the numerous trees. In addition, there are many benches for a rest. We had taken several of the numerous incredibly delicious focaccia variants from the bakery "Forno a vapore Amedeo Giusti" on Via Santa Luccia 20 and enjoyed them in peace and quiet in the shade of the trees. It's worth queuing at the bakery, insider tip.
