plan in these dark days we are all so happy our holiday. Last October we spent our annual vacation in Tuscany, in the area around Volterra, for this lies in a secluded and quiet away from the major tourist destinations. And all the places one wants to see absolutely in Tuscany, not far away.
So led us a day of Volterra Lucca and on the track is so well Pisa. In every country I have such a favorite, in Tuscany may be the safe Lucca. A few words about the city:
Lucca has about 84,000 inhabitants, and the city name should go back to the Etruscans, who chose the name "Luke". Then it became a Roman settlement, which was called "Colonia Lucca. Lucca was well into middle age before the cities of Florence and Pisa, the main municipality of Tuscany. The production of silk and brocade, and gold leaf brawl brought their wealth. Who else wants to know details of Lucca, which reads further here.
For me, the epitome of Lucca in the Tuscan town where one would have, the one Choice, would much like to live.
The first thing I noticed are the many cyclists. This is unusual for a town in Italy. As the very north looks like, I do not know because the area I avoid you. is surrounded the city the way by an impressive city wall of 4.2 km in length with eleven bastions and six goals. And as usual, it is parked outside the city wall, which in Lucca is also no problem. can be parked comfortably in the parking lot of Carducci and there you have another 5 minutes to town. The prices are in the frame.
This here is the famous Piazza del Anfiteatro, where you can also sit comfortably in October at noon outside and take a menu. We are happy to cyclists, also on the tandem, in the self-chosen arena is a feat, and what you have to laugh. 
Glimpses of the Piazza del Anfiteatro. 
There are beautiful, very clean and traditional shops. should not be overlooked, however, that Lucca is also a paradise for lovers of good pastry. Here according to old recipes such as Castagnaccio, a sweet chestnut cake with secure 1000 calories per Piece made, or the incomparable Buccaellato, a tasty savarin with anise and raisins, to be enjoyed in any case, fresh from the oven. As you can fail then start trying out a lunch order to afford this. 
Everywhere one comes across beautiful details. 
The houses are perfectly restored and are at their best. There can 
Beautiful churches also, I wanted to photograph the angels times from behind, from the front so we photographed each church.
