1. Overview of Lucca: Initial travel tips & FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where is Lucca & how do I get there?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lucca is located in inland<\/strong> Tuscany (more precisely in the north-west), just 20 kilometres away from the sea. To help you orientate yourself: Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is about a good hour\u2019s drive away from Lucca. After Pisa it\u2019s no more than half an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are arriving by plane<\/strong>, you usually land in Florence or Pisa. There you find both the international airports of Tuscany, which several airlines or destinations fly to. From there you can rent a car to explore Tuscany with. (We always book our rental cars<\/strong> through Sunny Cars<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are traveling by car<\/strong> (whether it\u2019s your own or a rental) then take into consideration that cars are de facto not allowed in Lucca\u2019s old town. Many places to stay in the old town offer parking options<\/strong>. You will need to allow around 30 euros per night for this. (We reveal more info for accommodation and our hotel tips for Lucca at the end of this travel guide.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
