Activity itinerary

Lucca's Duomo (Cattedrale di San Martino)

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Meet your guide near the Cathedral of San Martino in the historic centre of Lucca to begin a kid-focused walking tour of the city's Middle Ages sights and history. Start at the Cathedral of San Martino, where the beauty of the colours and the intricacy of the designs of its exterior will dazzle you as they did the pilgrims who flocked to Lucca for centuries. Animals, flowers, tales of saints, and a labyrinth will greet you before entering the Cathedral where the ancient wooden crucifix called the 'Volto Santo' (Holy Face) is contained. Through the inquisitive eyes of your child, you will discover all the intriguing legends and miracles associated with these symbols.

Museo della Zecca

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Head for the historic mint where, before your very eyes, replicas of the ancient coins of Lucca will be produced and each child will receive one as a Medieval souvenir. The historic Mint is one of the oldest in Italy (operating since 650 a.C.)

San Michele in Foro

  • 20m
At the Church of San Michele (Saint Michael), more investigative work awaits. Attempt to uncover the secrets hidden in its spectacular façade, including stories of mythical animals and ancient legends.

Via Fillungo

  • 40m
Stroll through the historic centre and charming streets of Lucca, such as Via Fillungo and Via Santa Croce, where you and your children will learn to 'read' the façades of the tower houses that once belonged to the wealthy merchants of Lucca. After so much work and mystery, it's time for a well-earned gelato break - and of course, only the best gelato in town will do.
