General Information on Lucca
Lucca is one of Italy's finest medieval treasures. It is located in beautiful Tuscany, right by the river Serchio in a fertile plain near the Tyrrhenian Sea. Among other reasons, it is famous for its intact Renaissance-era city walls. The centre is sprinkled with palazzi, towers and a great number of splendid churches. The surrounding hills produce some excellent wines and probably the finest olive oil anywhere, whilst the beaches and nightlife are only a short drive away.

Fiera dei fiori (27.Apr.2010- 30.Apr.2010), Summer Festival (30.Jun.2010), Puccini Festival (30.Jun.2010- 31.Jul.2010)
