Lucca is an easy trip from Pisa: its tree-lined walls, medieval squares and pedestrian centre are reachable from the station without a car.
Why it belongs in your trip
Lucca’s Renaissance walls form a tree-lined circuit of about 4.2 kilometres around the old town. Inside, Piazza dell’Anfiteatro preserves the elliptical footprint of the Roman arena, while via Fillungo connects towers, churches and squares. This is a city best experienced at an unhurried pace.
The reliable starting point
Lucca is an easy regional-train day trip from Pisa. From Lucca station, the city walls and historic centre are walkable.
Plan it step by step
- Check Pisa Centrale–Lucca regional trains and the final return service
- From the station enter through Porta San Pietro and climb onto the walls
- Descend towards San Martino, San Michele and Piazza dell’Anfiteatro
Timing and pace
Allow at least half a day; a full day gives time for a substantial wall walk and one tower without rushing.
