For driving/walking directions please read below:

For arrival in a car: From the motorway (Firenze-Pisa Mare) take the exit for Lucca east. Once you have paid the toll, follow signs for “Centro”. After approx 500m you will go through a traffic light and cross the railway on a bridge. On descending from the bridge take the left or central lane (not the right hand lane) you will see the Lucca walls in front of you and a roundabout in the road. At the roundabout go straight and take the right hand lane. You only need to go about 150m past the roundabout at which point you will see a road on the right which you need to take. This enters the walls at Porta Sant’Anna. Immediately on passing through the old gates take a right turn. There is a parking lot on the right running along the inside of the walls, this is one of the three most convenient for the apartment. If there is no space, continue alongside the wall and you will see signs for two other car parks (Citadella and Lorenzini) either of which are fine. The maps above demonstrate locations of car parks etc.

If traveling by bus to Lucca from Pisa airport you will get off the bus at Piazzale Verdi (just inside the walls). The quickest way to the apartment is along via San Paulino (with the walls/gate behind you there are two roads heading into the city centre. San Paulino is the one to the left of the piazza and is paved in stone. The other is via Vittorio Emmanuele which is to the right of the piazza, tarmac surface, wider and has a cinema on the corner).

Go straight along San Paulino, passing the church on your right. 50m after the church vai Burlamacchi crosses San Paolino. Continue another 20-30m and take the next right. If you arrive at the Piazza Citadella (with Puccini statue) you have gone 5m too far! Having turned right onto Vicolo della Cervia (road name sign at the far end of the street!) after 10m you arrive in Piazza della Cervia. Turn right and you will see a green door in the corner with a number 22. That’s us.

If arriving by train; From the station you need to cross the garden in front of the station, and then cross the road heading towards the walls. Having crossed the road, turn left and follow the road until you see Porta San Pietro on your right. Pass into the walls through the gate. Inside the gate the road forks to the left and to the right, bear left. Continue approximately parallel to the inside of the wall for 50m. You will see the ramp up to the top of the walls on the left and a road (via Veneto) to the right. Trun right, cross Corso Garibaldi (after 30m) enter Piazza Napoleone, keep going straight on the left side of the Piazza. Leave Piazza Napoleone continuing straight until you arrive in Piazza San Michele. At San Michele turn left on Via San Paolino. Go about 60m until entering Piazza Citadella (with Puccini statue). And take the next left onto Vicolo della Cervia (road name sign at the far end of the street!) after 10m you arrive in Piazza della Cervia. Turn right and you will see a green door in the corner with a number 22. That’s us (again!).
