Lucca is my favorite Italian city so far. It has beautiful city walls, old architecture, vivid orange and yellow buildings, narrow streets, lovely cafes, traffic closed to cars in the city center, tasty Tuscan food and incredibly relaxed people. Furthermore there weren’t hordes of tourists, only some of them and they all looked Italian. This city and its surrounding were an independent kingdom during Renaissance and until Italian reunification but it doesn’t look like that. There are no big palaces, great avenues or huge cathedrals. Everything in this city looks dry and cold, serious and melancholic.
