With a few minutes drive from Buggiano you can reach Lucca, the beautiful city enclosed within the walls that make it unique and loved all over the world.

Just its walls are its distinctive character, are entirely walkable(cars can not access) or maybe by bike or with the characteristics Rickshaw 4 wheels that you can rent.

The route is very green and pleasant, although inserted in a city context; it extends for 4 kilometers and it is very pleasant to live it for a few hours, admiring the city in an elevated position.

Here and there there are hidden corners and “secret” passages, very suggestive for both children and adults.
