Don't use the breakfast facility at the hostel. The cafe 150m away (near the city gate) is better

Walk round the city walls, and picnic in the shade on a grassy tower top. We came just too early, but the Puccini house museum is about to re-open after several years (September 2011), and we will try to come back for that.
Don't miss... 22 Jun 2011 Sandra, South Africa:
hiring bicycles and taking time out to cycle around the city walls!

The pizza place opposite the HI entrance and the best foccacia, made to measure in front of your eyes at Rocchi P's Pizzicheria la Grotta. You'll see it en route from the hostel to the anfiteatro and it opens on to the anfiteatro piazza.
For good eats check out... 18 May 2011 Adrienne, Canada:
Do not go to restaurants where they are calling you in off the street and claiming to be affordable - hidden costs such as "eating outside" charges.
Don't miss... 18 May 2011 Adrienne, Canada:
the plaza in the middle of the town. A bike ride around the wall is a must.

This city with its 22 centuries of history is indeed one of Italy's most evocative destinations. The new Youth Hostel is near the Church of S. Frediano, in the city centre. There are two monthly dates not to forget: an antiques market ( 3rd Sunday of each month ) and a local artisan's market ( 4th Sunday ). From Lucca you can make excursions to the Garfagnana Region, Barga, Castelvecchio, to the thermae of Bagni di Lucca, to the wonderful bridges ( the Bridge of the Chains and the Devil's Bridge ), to the Serchio Valley and why not ?
