Lucca is an upscale walled town located near Pisa and Florence. The walled part of town is very restricted on car traffic, and bicycles are popular here. It seems that most of its tourist come from Italy. This is a wonderful place to get a taste of Italy without hourdes of Tourist. This small town is loaded with beautiful churches like the one above. 2009
