Lucca is the beautiful city where Giacomo Puccini was once born. Its medieval street plan, its palaces, and houses make Lucca one of the most breathtaking cities in Italy. Lucca sits on an alluvial plateau near the Serchio River and is located only 30 kilometers northeast of Pisa airport in Italy. To the north of Lucca lie the Apuane Alps where you can explore their famous marble quarries, enjoy the beautiful spas and mineral water springs, streams, woods, and many caves. This resort is perfect for families with young children as it is not as busy and commercialized as the others.
