EN Culture, Puccini and Events
The Province of Lucca is internationally renowned for events such as Lucca Comics & Games and the Lucca Summer Festival, both of which attract visitors from around the world each year. Although the composer Giacomo Puccini was born in Lucca, opera lovers are particularly drawn to Torre del Lago, where he lived for many years and where the renowned Puccini Festival is held every summer. The famous antique market in Lucca’s historic centre is another popular attraction, inviting visitors to browse among antiques, works of art and local treasures. Many guests choose holiday accommodation in the Lucca countryside to combine cultural experiences with the peace and beauty of the Tuscan landscape.
Culinary Delights and Regional Specialities
The cuisine of the Province of Lucca is simple, authentic and deeply rooted in the surrounding countryside — an experience best enjoyed during a stay in a country holiday home. Typical specialities include Tordelli Lucchesi, Garfagnana spelt, chestnut-based products and high-quality olive oil. Another local speciality is the Buccellato di Lucca, a traditional sweet yeast bread. These regional delicacies pair perfectly with wines such as Colline Lucchesi DOC and Montecarlo DOC, which reflect the area's long-established winemaking tradition.
Wellness and Relaxation
The Province of Lucca offers excellent opportunities for rest and wellbeing. The historic thermal baths of Bagni di Lucca have been welcoming visitors for centuries, while the unspoilt landscapes of the Garfagnana and the Apuan Alps are ideal for yoga, peaceful walks and moments of relaxation in the fresh mountain air. Many of our holiday homes in the countryside also feature private pools and tranquil surroundings, providing the perfect setting to recharge both body and mind.
