Lucca is a stately city located 45 miles west of Florence, in the heart of Tuscany. It’s the capital of the Province of Lucca and is particularly known for its well preserved Renaissance city walls. Even as the city expanded and became increasingly modernized, the walls remained intact with each of its principal sides lined with different species of trees.

However, there is no airport in Lucca. The nearest would be the Galileo Galilei International Airport which is about a 30 minute ride away. The best way for tourists to get to and around this charming city would be by train or car.
