Lucca is a city on the Serchio river in Italy's Tuscany region. It's known for the well-preserved Renaissance walls encircling its historic city center and its cobblestone streets. Broad, tree-lined pathways along the tops of these massive 16th- and 17th-century ramparts are popular for strolling and cycling.

The tower, part of the Romanesque cathedral in the Piazza dei Miracoli, offers a unique experience, along with the nearby Baptistry, known for its acoustics, and the Caposanto Monumentale cemetery.

Following your time in Pisa, you will return to Livorno, arriving approximately 30 minutes later, and be dropped off near the port area and your waiting ship.
