Recommended half-day trips include the mediaeval hill towns of Barga, Castiglione and Bagni di Lucca. Also there are the large, ancient hilltop fortress of Verrucole, the Grotta del Vento caves system, the Orecchiella National Park (on the Apennine side).
A visit to Lucca, the historical, walled main town of the province could be made in half a day, but longer would be better.
