LUCCA Travel Guide | Tuscany | Top attractions & local tips

[@mirellafiordimondo6223]

I grew up just outside Lucca in a small town of the Garfagnana region it will be very nice if you could show what is outside the famous walls outside the city .thanks

[@TheWalkingNomadTours]

I just travelled across Italy from South to North and I have to say Lucca was MY FAVORITE!

[@toscana6457]

Spent many summer holidays in Lucca staying with my relatives. My dad was from the city & its my favourite place to go to.

[@heavy-gauge]

You have a great travel channel. Very informative, concise, entertaining and nicely filmed!

[@ItalybyItalians]

Awwww thank you ☺️☺️☺️ we do our best to give our insider views of Italy. Have you already visited Italy or planning to go soon?

[@Riddickforyou]

I randomly stumbled upon your channel while searching for updates on Lucca. I love your style of travel videos! I've visited Lucca a few times and it's one of my favorite places in Toscana, even more so than Firenze, Pisa, and Siena. It'd be great if you could make videos on off the beaten path places in Toscana and other regions...places such as Massa, Viareggio, and small towns in Garfagnana. I also love Emilia-Romagna, places like Ravenna, Bologna, Ferrara! My Italian friends told me that it is still not easy to travel in Italy but I can't wait to come back later this year or next and explore the country! P. S. You may not have expected this but I'm learning how to correctly pronounce the names of Italian places, thanks to your clear voice!

[@ItalybyItalians]

Hi, thank you very much for your compliments! And yes, I love the fact that you're perfecting your Italian pronunciation, I try to articulate Italian names so travellers can learn how to pronounce them 😉 Unfortunately yes, it's still difficult to travel inside Italy so we haven't had many chances to shoot off-the-beaten-path videos like we wanted. It seems like you know Tuscany really well! What is your favourite place apart from Lucca? And what is a place you'd love to visit but you still haven't had a chance? As we cannot travel, we are shooting travel guides for each Italian region from our home, maybe you can find this playlist useful for your next trips to Italy: kzbin.info/aero/PLkISSlPzOWxqKHB_32IiZOfIh8ZMusBfq (there is also a video about Tuscany, it is targeted to people who have never been so you probably will find many things you already know, but I think you might find some new useful information about food and local events: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmK4YX6Zd9qHh9U ) And if you happen to stop in Pisa again in the future, you can watch here what else you can visit around the city apart from the Leaning Tower: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHmzpniDnbKZh6s 😉

Lucca for me in due settimane!

[@jirimondo]

If you like antique markets (alla Arezzo) Lucca is filled with stalls on the 3rd weekend of every month.

[@leonardorodrigues64]

Hi Julia. I am planning to go to Italy to practice my Italian for a test and I was wondering if Lucca would be a good option to interact with native speakers.

[@ItalybyItalians]

Hey Leonardo, good luck with your test! Lucca and Pisa are very similar, they are both small cities and their dialects are some of the most neutrals so I guess they are good choices to practice Italian 🇮🇹

[@tomzanone2324]

We were just there. Most understand english enough to converse and transact.

[@Shreya-fe4kt]

Hi! Very informative and well composed videos. Can you make one about intercity transportation options? Like buses, trains, rental cars? Thank you 😊

[@ItalybyItalians]

Thanks for your suggestion! Would you be interested in transportation for Lucca or for Italy in general?

[@armanavagyan1876]

Thanks 🤩

[@corradopalmerini4076]

Ciao.i had the opportunity to have I grew up here during summer months from America. My parents are from here. The biggest Diamond in the Ruff!!! Indeed!!!

[@ItalybyItalians]

Cool so you know Lucca quite well! Would you have added some other attraction to this video? Now that you are an adult do you come often to Italy? Hugs from Italy

[@anrn5303]

@2:49 you mean *famous instead of notorious... ;) because Puccini ain't bad at all...

[@ItalybyItalians]

Ops, yes! I meant famous 😅

[@hugomorales632]

We're here in Lucca and we're going to have the Tordelli Lucchesi. Thank you for the wonderful video!

[@anrn5303]

where to stay in Lucca?

[@pianomansk]

👍👍👍👍

[@SwarnimAgrawal]

Hi, maybe you can do a video on the provincia di lucca. I thik there would be much more things to see and do other than the historic architecture

[@ItalybyItalians]

Yes it would be interesting, thanks for your suggestion!

[@brianjames915]

Did you really enjoy the Buccellato??? Maybe with Expresso! 😄😄😄

[@ItalybyItalians]

😂 it's not among my favorite dishes of Tuscany, but I enjoyed it, it's peculiar 😊 have you ever tasted it?

[@brianjames915]

@@ItalybyItalians No, I never tried it, but it was such a large loaf and you took such a tiny bite and the camera briefly picked up on your expression, like you forgot to say it was tasty. I love and appreciate Vlogs like yours. For people like me born and raised in NY, now living in Florida and planning to spend time in Italy you help make it a real experience. I’ve been taking notes on all you’ve said. My distant roots are in Southern Italy, so that’s where I want to go first when these restrictions lighten up. But keep the Vlog going, you seem to know and have enough information to start a touring business. Thank you again

[@ItalybyItalians]

@@brianjames915 thank you I'm glad we are helpful for you! I wish you can visit Italy asap, luckily things are changing for us too and vaccination is going fast. Where exactly is your family from? I love the South, it's definitely a great place to begin your discovery of Italy.

[@ItalybyItalians]

@@brianjames915 that's a nice plan! You can find some useful information about Calabria here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHWqfYyVerCHnM0 Italians love it when foreigners try to speak Italian so I'm sure you will be loved.

[@BlueSuedeShoesDance]

Love your videos. Thank you for bringing us to Lucca. My husband and I walked the city wall back in 2013. Beautiful town with so many churches. Will you be visiting Bagno Vignoni? We missed out going there after we visited Pienza.

[@ItalybyItalians]

Thank you! 😊 Yes, Bagno Vignoni and other Tuscany villages are on our list but at the moment it's still quite difficult to travel inside Italy 😣 Have you been there or is it on your wish-list?

[@BlueSuedeShoesDance]

@@ItalybyItalians no I haven't been there. Hoping to visit when the world opens up

[@HasnainRaza-yj3vh]

Hi, I am Reza from Islamabad Pakistan..what you show in this video is very beautiful and historical city...If it's possible show some of the beautiful places in Tuscany because I am interested to know more about Tuscany places and want to visit this amazing land very soon. Regards

[@ItalybyItalians]

Hi Reza thank you. Check out my channel, there are already many videos around Tuscany: Florence, Pisa, Montepulciano, Elba Island... And I will do more in the future!

[@Iamalemonwhy]

You look like a friend of mine

[@ItalybyItalians]

Really haha? Send me a pic of this friend!

[@Rog5446]

Never mind about Pucinni, why no mention of Francesco Geminiani, who was born in Lucca and has a statue in his honour in one of the piazzas.

[@ItalybyItalians]

Thanks for mentioning him, too!

[@aljazjanezic3274]

Thank you for the useful tips!

i just bought my tickets to see Daniele Gatti Maggio Musicale Fiorentino at this festival, thanks for sharing!

Happy my suggestions were of help 😉

[@lorimorton8634]

Can you please do a feature on Siena?

[@cyonarra1]

VERY informative what are the travel books with the orange spine that are behind you?

[@ItalybyItalians]

Thank you! Are you referring to this video or others? Because there are no books in this video, I think you are talking about other videos we shot from home. I am a fan of travel guides, I have a ton of them 😁

[@funforsum]

Hello do you need a ticket to walk to the top of the towers? We will be there in early April.

[@ItalybyItalians]

Hello! Yes you can buy your tickets directly on site, you'll find the ticketing offices directly at the base of each tower ✌️🇮🇹
