A day trip to a town of Lucca. It’s known for the thick walls encircling the city center where the city park is located. The wall park is popular for strolling and cycling. One thing to notice about the park, are the numerous sycamore trees.
One of the unique detail about Lucca are the numerous towers. Some even growing trees on the roofs.
We also can't forget about Puccini who was born, lived and composed here. He did not have a good reputation at the time.
We found an art installation made from cardboard in the walls of the town, a hidden gem.
On the way back to Florence we had a short stop for dinner at Montecatini Terme. On the way we passed ancient aqueducts that transported fresh mountain water to the cities (also to Rome).

Unfortunately there was not enough time to enjoy the place, but got a glimpse of the Opera House: Nuovo Teatro Verdi Srl.

The ancient amphitheater of Lucca has been transformed into a town square. Now all of the houses create a round square filled with restaurants and coffee shops which is a unique design.

At the end of the guided tour we left the beaten path and the tourists to see the hidden Lucca.
