Private Transfer from Lucca | Book Online

Why Private Transfer to Lucca?

Getting to Lucca from the airport is straightforward with UboTransfer. A private transfer eliminates the hassle of public transport connections—trains from Pisa to Lucca run regularly but require luggage handling and navigating stations. Direct transfers are faster, especially if you're arriving with multiple bags or traveling with family. You'll avoid waiting times and have flexibility with departure times, which is particularly useful if your flight arrives outside standard train schedules.

The drive through Tuscany's landscape is part of the experience. Your driver takes you directly to your hotel or accommodation, saving 45 minutes to an hour compared to public transport options.

Nearest Airports

• Pisa Airport (PSA) — 25km away, approximately 35-40 minutes by car. This is the closest option and handles both international and domestic flights. The A11 motorway connects directly to Lucca's exits.
• Florence Airport (FLR) — 85km away, approximately 1 hour 20 minutes by car. Florence is a larger hub with more flight options but involves a longer transfer. The A11 motorway runs directly between Florence and Lucca.

What to See in Lucca

The City Walls. Lucca's most distinctive feature is its complete Renaissance-era walls, built between the 16th and 17th centuries. The walls are 4.4km long and now form a tree-lined park where locals walk and cycle. You can walk or rent bikes along the entire circuit for views of the city and surrounding countryside.

Piazza dell'Anfiteatro. This oval plaza occupies the space of a Roman amphitheater, and medieval buildings now form the perimeter. It's one of Lucca's most atmospheric spots, ringed with cafés and restaurants. The irregular shape and narrow connecting streets make it feel genuinely historic rather than reconstructed.

San Martino Cathedral. Dating to the 11th century, the cathedral houses the famous Volto Santo crucifix—a wooden sculpture that's been venerated since medieval times. The ornate Romanesque façade and interior artworks justify a visit even for those not particularly religious.

Torre Guinigi. This 14th-century tower is one of few that survived and is famous for the oak trees growing on its roof—a quirky detail visible from the street. You can climb the 230 steps for panoramic views across Lucca's rooftops and the surrounding hills.

Practical Tips

Best Time to Visit. April-May and September-October offer pleasant weather without summer crowds. July and August are hot but busy with tourists. Winter is quieter but colder and occasionally wet.

Parking in Lucca. The city center is pedestrian-only within the walls. UboTransfer will drop you at your hotel entrance or a nearby parking zone. Street parking outside the walls is limited; if you rent a car, use paid parking facilities like Parcheggio Carducci or Parcheggio Sant'Anna.

Road Conditions. The A11 motorway is well-maintained and toll roads. The final approach to central Lucca involves narrow medieval streets—your transfer driver will be familiar with access points and drop-off locations. Local roads are generally good year-round, though winter occasionally brings snow to higher elevations outside the city.
