The best time to visit Lucca
The best time to visit Lucca is late spring or early fall. During these periods, the city basks in the warm glow of the early or late summer sun, but the summer crowds have dispersed to leave quieter, more relaxed Lucca in their wake. The shoulder seasons are also the periods when local Tuscan produce is at its best, from truffles to wine.
