Lucca accommodation, Lucca holiday - Tuscany accommodation
Description
Lucca is the most wonderful small town; its famous walls enclose a place that can be wandered or pedalled with ease yet remains full of secrets. One of Italy's finest mediaeval treasures, the centre is relatively unspoilt and is sprinkled with palazzi, towers and almost countless splendid churches. The surrounding hills produce some of the best wines of Tuscany and arguably the finest olive oil anywhere, whilst the beaches and nightlife are but a small hop away.
On the third Sunday (and preceding Saturday) of each month there is a large antiques market centred around Piazza Antelminelli and Piazza San Giusto. On the last Sunday (and preceding Saturday) of the month there is an arts and crafts market in the same area. Lucca's ‘ordinary' market is held along Via dei Bacchettoni every Wednesday and Saturday morning.
In common with many Italian and Tuscany towns, most of Lucca's shops will remain closed between lunchtime and around four o clock. Wednesday is a common closing day and many places in town may well also be closed on Monday mornings.
