Lucca is a maze of cobbled streets with many little piazzas and beautiful frescoes on the buildings. As it is flat it is a perfect place to ride around and the old city wall is wide and lined with beautiful, up to 400 hundred year old chestnut trees making it a perfect cycle track…look down on the old town and see into beautiful gardens and really observe an important part of every day life in Lucca-children on roller blades, dogs being walked and all ages promenading in the evenings on the wall. It is one of the reasons we really enjoy our stays there
