    Lucca is a real gem, and Rick is right to highlight it. Slightly off the main tourist track, and all the better for it. I visited around 15 years ago, and was impressed by the relaxed ambiance and the beauty of the city and surrounding countryside. At that time it was notable for high end (but not flashy) pen, stationery and watch shops.

    Rick Steves, I like how you have gone beyond the tourist trail and shown a place that is unique, that is different that what many people are used to. When many people go to Italy, many go to places such as Roma, Milano, and Naples. This clip shows a side of Italy far from the tourist trail, getting to the places often forgotten by many people.

    Lucca, a great town to visit. My favorite town in Italy. Visited for 5 times, rode a bike for 3 hours, went to the top of the tower whenever I had visited. Thanks all friends in Pescia for helping me to visit. I felt that I am at home in Italy.

    Lucca is really a fascinating and dreamlike city. Last year we had to end our pilgrimage on the Via Francigena. But this year we will continue there and I am looking forward to seeing Lucca again. Just like the pilgrimage, I am looking forward to see the city again.

    la Toscana è la mia regione preferita. Hanno il senso della bellezza nell'anima. Già passando l'Appennino dall'Emilia alla Toscana, pur non cambiando il paesaggio , avverti una cura diversa, nelle case, nei giardini. Lucca è una città a misura d'uomo dove respiri arte in ogni angolo. tante piazze, scuole di musica, la senti uscire dalle finestre in ogni piazza, sorprese ogni volta che svolti l'angolo e lo sguardo. La Toscana ha tutto. Mare , monti, arte, e soprattutto la sanno amare e conservare.

      You should have tried to understand all the history that hides behind every inch of that city. Nothing there is less than 100 years old! Maybe you should focus more on enhancing your point of view and trying to see beyond the first impact (that, of course, should play an important role on this too). And remember: try to respect every city you’ll visit; trust me, you’ll want people to do the same in your house! I hope this comment can actually help you to enjoy more your next trip, even somewhere else. Bye
