Pisa to Lucca Bike Tour along the Puccini Cycle Path

This tour connects two iconic Tuscan art cities through a scenic and balanced itinerary that combines nature, culture and city exploration.

Starting in Pisa, you’ll enjoy a route that follows cycle paths and low-traffic roads along the Serchio River. As you ride through the Serchio River Park, you’ll experience peaceful landscapes and the atmosphere of the Puccini Trail, linked to places that inspired the composer.

Arriving in Lucca, you’ll reach the city’s famous historic walls. Cycling on top of the Walls of Lucca is one of the highlights of the tour, offering a unique way to see the city from above. Lucca is a city of art, music, history and food. Explore the Guinigi Tower with its rooftop garden, browse the shops along Via Fillungo, and visit Piazza dell’Anfiteatro and Piazza Napoleone. Don’t miss local specialties such as cecina, necci with ricotta and buccellato.

Return option
