Genoa to Lucca and Collodi: Private day trip

Lucca is a relatively flat city with roads open to everyone: cars, pedestrians, bicycles, and scooters alike. Although open, priority is given to pedestrians, making Lucca a walk-friendly city. Its impressive walls that surround the heart of the city are well maintained and fully intact. Despite the many years of calm that have rendered the Renaissance-era walls useless, it has now been repurposed. The entire circle is a pedestrian walkway surrounded by an outer lying stretch of green. The pedestrian promenade makes it ideal to see all of Lucca's major gems from above. Once you get back on solid ground, be sure to visit the Duomo di San Martino, the Basilica di San Frediano, and traces of the amphitheatre in Piazza dell'Anfiteatro.
