Lucca (located 2 hours west of Florence) is a city in Tuscany, Central Italy.  It is also the capital of the Province of Lucca and is famous for its intact Renaissance-era city walls.  Unlike many cities built with high walls for security, Lucca was built with an impressive series of ramparts and canals.  Walking or biking along the ramparts are a great way to see this beautiful city.  The plazas, narrow streets and Renaissance architecture, make this a classic Italian city.
