A journey through history, art and beauty

With the Visit Card, you can access some of Lucca’s most iconic sites, each with its own story to tell.

You can begin your walk at the Puccini Museum – Casa Natale, the birthplace of the renowned composer Giacomo Puccini, and then continue towards the remarkable Torre Guinigi, famous for its rooftop garden with oak trees.

Between a history-filled museum and a panoramic tower, it’s worth slowing down and stopping at Taddeucci to taste the traditional Buccellato, fragrant with anise and raisins, and a small ritual that captures the city’s most authentic soul.

Along the way, you’ll also come across the Torre delle Ore, the tallest of the more than 130 towers that once shaped Lucca’s medieval skyline.

If you wish to dive deeper into the history of Lucca’s most powerful families, you can extend your route to the Museo Nazionale di Villa Guinigi which, together with the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city’s noble residences and heritage.

Continuing your walk, you’ll reach the Complesso museale ed archeologico della Cattedrale di Lucca, a rich concentration of sacred art and centuries of history.

At this point, a peaceful break at the Orto Botanico di Lucca offers a moment of calm, surrounded by greenery in the heart of the city.

On the opposite side of the historic center lies the Complesso della Basilica e Campanile di San Frediano, also known for its stunning mosaics.

For those interested in ancient history, the walk can end with a visit to the Domus Romana di Lucca, offering a fascinating glimpse into Roman Lucca, before continuing to the Museo Antica Zecca di Lucca, which tells the story of the city’s economic and political past.

Along the way, you might also treat yourself to another sweet stop at Caniparoli, a historic chocolate shop where chocolate has been handcrafted with the same passion for over thirty years.

The Lucca Visit Card becomes, in this way, a simple and enjoyable way to experience the city, guided by curiosity, beauty, and the pleasure of discovering something new at every step.
