Itinerary

Day	Destination	Description
Days 1-8	Lucca	The lovely walled city of Lucca is a base for explorations of Tuscany, a delightful region known for its good food and wines, magnificent medieval cities, fine museums, and lovely countryside. Stay in a comfortable apartment within the city ramparts, a short walk away from the major sights and eateries. With a fully-equipped kitchen, you'll even be able to whip up your own meal, perhaps with food bought from a local delicatessen. Why not kickstart your Tuscan adventure with a cycle around Lucca's city walls, then a wander through the cobbled piazzas, charming churches and centuries-old buildings within. The city of Lucca buzzes with sidewalk cafes and chic boutiques to explore, as well as historic sights of interest. Be sure to visit the church of San Michele in Foro to admire the ornate columns that make up its facade - every single one is unique. Another great idea is to head out and see the famed rolling hills and open fields of the Tuscan countryside. From Lucca, day trips further afield are possible. Why not visit artistic Florence to take a stroll through the Uffizi Gallery and Medici Chapels, or beautiful Siena to see the main piazza, presided over by the elegant Torre del Mangia belltower? Also reachable by train is Pisa, with its quirky Leaning Tower, and the renowned coastal walk between the pretty pastel villages of the Cinque Terre. At the end of each day, be sure to indulge in Tuscan specialties, noted for their simplicity and fine flavour, and the use of high-quality olive oil, cannellini beans and fresh herbs.
