nálægt Lucca, Toscana (Italia)
Great walk on the Lucca city walls and into town. The city walls have been completely preserved and a walk and cycle way goes around on them. The city itself is a jewel with great historical buildings, and is a lively and atmospheric town. The walk is easy, and children will like it as well.
We came by car and started out at Piazzale Risorgimento, but you could start this walk from the train station as well. You climb onto the city wall at the rampart of San Colombano, and then walk clockwise around the city walls with 9 other ramparts on the way. The walls and the area around it give the impression of a park, with lots of trees and grass. You could also rent various types of bicycle on or near the city walls. At the San Regolo rampart you leave the walls and enter the city along Via del Fosso. You pass below city gate Porta Santi Gervasio e Protasio into Via Santa Croce. You pass by the Santa Maria Forisportam on your way to Torre Guinigi. You can climb this tower for a fee so you can enjoy a great view of the town. Trees grow on top of the tower. After climbing the tower you go back a bit and continue towards the old amphitheater via San Pietro Somaldi. This amphitheater is now a great piazza with restaurants. You continue via San Frediano and walk through the main shopping street Via Fillungo, where you climb another tower (Torre Civica). You walk to Piazza San Michele with the impressive Chiesa di San Michele in Foro. Via Piazza Napoleon and Piazza del Giglio you walk towards the Duomo on Piazza San Martino and then leave the city again via Baluardo San Colombano.
Enjoy!
