Welcome to Lucca, where every corner tells a story.

Once again this year, the city is getting ready to wear its most spectacular costume to welcome Lucca Comics & Games 2025, Europe’s largest event dedicated to comics, games, animation, video games, cosplay, and fantasy culture.

From October 29 to November 2, the historic center will turn into a parallel universe filled with colors, characters, creativity, and pure energy.

And if you're looking for a place to stay during the festival, you're in the right place: with TuscanHouses, you can choose the perfect accommodation to fully live - or simply observe - this unforgettable experience.

One City, a Thousand Worlds

Imagine waking up in an apartment in the heart of Lucca and stepping out into a world of steampunk knights, superheroes, digital dragons, and manga princesses.
That’s Lucca Comics & Games: a city-wide transformation unlike anything else in Europe.

Here’s a quick guide to help you navigate:

• Piazza Napoleone is the beating heart of the publishing world, with the iconic Comics pavilion.
• Palazzo Ducale and other historic buildings host breathtaking exhibitions.
• The Sports Arena is a collector’s paradise.
• Real Collegio and Cavallerizza are home to the Junior section and board games.
• At the Polo Fiere, you’ll find the magical Japan Town, featuring special guest Akemi Takada, iconic anime artist (Creamy Mami, Orange Road).
• Gardens and historic villas become scenic backdrops for cosplayers from around the world.

A Record-Breaking Edition

The 2025 edition promises to be one of the most international and ambitious ever:

• 90 publishers from Italy and abroad
• Over 50 authors from across the globe
• The return of Taiwan Comics and the debut of COAMIX Inc., the first major Japanese publisher to join the festival
• A special appearance by Caparezza, presenting Orbit Orbit, his new album and graphic novel

The program includes:

• Exhibitions, previews, workshops, talks, and signing sessions
• Live performances, artistic installations, and exclusive meetups with cult authors
• Foodmetti, the fusion of comics and haute cuisine. At Palazzo Guinigi, Foodmetti brings together comic art and gourmet food. Authors and chefs share the spotlight in a lineup of unmissable events. This year’s guest stars include chef Cristiano Tomei.

Where to Stay During the Festival?

Comics, nature, and Tuscan sunsets? Yes, you can have it all.
One reason our guests return year after year is the opportunity to truly live the city—not just visit it. The historic center becomes a living stage: medieval walls, charming alleys, and picture-perfect views for your cosplay or travel photos.

With TuscanHouses, you can tailor your experience:

• In the historic center, to be right in the heart of the action: step outside and you’re instantly immersed in pavilions, shows, and live events.
• Just outside the city walls, if you prefer a quiet retreat after a day full of excitement.
• In the hills or by the sea, choosing from hilltop villages, countryside villas, or Versilia residences—blending pop culture, beach life, and relaxation.
