Lucca is considered one of Italy's best kept secrets and is steeped in culture. A great time to visit is during one of the cities classical music festivals. Antique markets, like the sprawling Vintage Macaroon, bring a unique culture to the walled city, selling paintings, furniture, jewelry, and housewares.

Rocio Calvillo
This city has medieval walls and inside there are miles of old narrow streets. We rented bikes and biked on the paths that go along the top of the walls.
