Visitors are spoilt for choice on every front as bars, restaurants of all price levels, shops, churches and museums are all in the streets and piazzas round about. Piazza San Michele, a couple of minutes walk away, is Lucca’s central piazza with the white marble church (like a giant wedding cake) as its centrepiece. Here there is always a bustle of things happening – from the Christmas market, with stalls of every description, to summer music concerts. On the wider front Lucca is a transport hub so that day return visits to Florence, Pisa, Viareggio and the Garfagnana are highly feasible.
