remains reserved for residents. The city has many parking lots located
outside and close to the city walls, the two largest are located on the
north and south side. The motorways connecting Lucca are: from Rome,

The center of Lucca is great to ride by bicycle. Leave your car in the
parking lot (there are parking outside the walls and a couple inside,
accessible by non-residents) and rent a bicycle. The bike rental service
can be found close to the north entrance of the city, Porta Santa Maria,
near Porta San Pietro and on foot from Porta Elisa towards the centre. It is
