Entertainment in Lucca

    Caffè di Simo

    For a respite from the sun's glare, immerse yourself in the chic Liberty (art nouveau) interior of Lucca's famous coffee shop. Its cakes are masterpieces.

    I Santi Vineria

    A wine shop with a few tables and large green umbrellas in front, this is a tranquil spot to sip wine under the watchful eye of Madonna and child. Tasty morsels served are as predictable as a cheese platter and as unpredictable as stewed octopus. Wi-fi hotspot!

    Caffetiera San Colombano

    This stylish cafe, to the right as you arise atop the city walls coming from the train station, is a pleasant caffeine, ice-cream or light lunch stop during a wall-top city stroll or bike ride.

    Enoteca Calasto
