My wife and I were in Lucca for two days in May 2022. Probably around the same time you shot this. We loved Lucca and will definitely go back on our next trip! Great video, thanks!

Hi Rok, I really enjoy your videos. I'm from Serbia and I saw your videos about Belgrade a couple days ago and I must say they are really good. This summer I will be visiting Tuscany so I can visit gems like this one. Keep up with the great work!

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks. Glad you like my videos. Hope they will be useful for your Tuscany trip. Cheers to Serbia.

[@NomadShifu]

Lucca is one of the cities most loved all of Tuscany, a stop that can not really miss in a classic itinerary to the discovery of the region. The city can be visited in a day, but if you want to appreciate the best stop for a few days or choose it as a base to explore central or north Tuscany.

[@bonvoyage1102]

Thank you for sharing this video content with lot of information about Lucca 🇮🇹 Look forward to visit….

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗 Wish you a great trip.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks for your suggestion.

[@stuartx7]

Great, informative video. We want to visit Lucca when our cruise docks in Livorno, it happens to be a Sunday. I assume shops will be closed but will there be plenty of bars/restaurants open? Also recommendations for a lovely glass of wine/bubbles please since it will be our wedding anniversary. Thank you.

[@janetarruebarrena8900]

My granddaughter is named Lucca after her parents visited this wonderful city on their honeymoon

[@rokgoesaround]

That is wonderful! 🤗

[@robertupchurch8088]

I’m trying to catch up on your videos, they are all excellent, very informative and beautifully videoed. Another item to note is they are too long. Some people will not sit thru a longer video no matter how good. Based on all of these there are so many new places I want visit. Keep it up!

[@rokgoesaround]

Awesome, thank you!

[@anacallow509]

I love Lucca so much that i I suggest to my grandson and his wife ,to call there first baby son, my great ,great son Lucas. They visit Tuscany while they were expected baby. This name will remind them of the visit Tuscany and birth place of my favorite composer Toscanini till rest of the life ..love your video. 🇨🇦🇭🇷👍

[@rokgoesaround]

Wow, nice story! Thanks for sharing it. Appreciated

[@Rog5446]

No mention of the famous composer and violinist Francesco Geminiani, who also has a statue in Lucca where he was born.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks for bringing him up.

[@JC-oz6xn]

Great job...beautiful footage........if you don't mind, what camera/lens?

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗 Main camera Sony A7Smk3.

[@user-ov2xk7qs2k]

Dix mois après un très bon weekend à Lucca (ville magnifique, bon ambiance...), je recois deux contraventions pour circulation dans une zone restreinte... Aucun panneau particulier expliquant pourquoi, le GPS m'indique un parking ou me garer à proximité du centre ville... J'ai donc 100 euros d'amende pour avoir passer cette zone restreinte et de nouveau 100 euros d'amende pour vouloir sortir de la ville le lendemain (tout en mettant garé dans un parking officiel et en ayant payé...) ...
J'appelle ça un attrape touriste....
Ten months after a great weekend in Lucca (beautiful town, great atmosphere...), I received two tickets for driving in a restricted zone... No particular sign explaining why, the GPS tells me where to park near the town center... So I'm fined 100 euros for passing through this restricted zone, and another 100 euros for wanting to leave the city the next day (while parking in an official parking lot and having paid...) ...
I call it a tourist trap....

[@foreignwarren7361]

I swear i had the best cheapest lunch here last year!

[@rokgoesaround]

Nice.

[@brianhill3837]

Can't wait to visit, my nonno was born there

[@rokgoesaround]

Nice. You should visit soon 🤗

[@JJ-bs5bo]

I spent a day there in this famous town where the great Puccini came from. Definitely one of my least favorite towns in Italy, it is generally grubby and grotty and the locals were rude and arrogant. I can recommend other places like Pisa, Verona and Mantova.

[@petrijen]

What is the best way to get to lucca from Florence?

[@boroiasar12]

Train

[@mikaelfalk6720]

Lucca is nice and all but what's up with all the cars? Completely ruins the vibe when you need to hug a wall every 5 second to let a car pass by...

[@65alef]

Il Santo Patrono di Lucca è San Paolino non San Martino ( che è la Cattedrale di Lucca)

[@sandymiller8898]

Delafia city.

[@reno5948]

Why did you pronounce Lucia as Lusia, Rocco?

[@umbertodadamo3049]

Il patrono di Lucca non è S. Martino, ma S.Paolino.

[@kevlarcardhouse252]

Thanks

[@rokgoesaround]

Thank you so much for your support. It will help me create my future videos. Thank you!

[@kevlarcardhouse252]

@@rokgoesaround No problem. Your videos helped me out planning my Croatia/Slovenia trip last year and I'm using them again this fall for Italy. I appreciate you not just doing the popular cities. Most other UA-camrs skip over places like Trieste or Lucca.

[@rokgoesaround]

So nice to hear that. Glad my videos helped you plan a trip. I wish you many more great trips.
