What our students said about Lucca
We felt very comfortable. The old town is beautiful, with lots of great restaurants, bars and cafes. However, one should never forget to have insect repellent with you. In and around Lucca there is a lot of water and unfortunately a lot of mosquitos.
Germany
Lucca is a very beautiful medieval city, surrounded by a city wall, and from one "cast". There are many beautiful squares and alleys and something new to discover everywhere. A very pleasant city where I would have liked to stay longer.

It's a beautiful town, if you are looking for night clubs you're in the wrong place but there are numerous bars cafes and restaurants to enjoy. Lucca though was a great place to go learn Italian

It is a small city that has everything, good public transport to travel to nearby cities and very quiet and safe. I am in love with its old town inside the walls. I have not felt like a tourist.
Spain
Nice little town, but because of the old preserved city centre with many tourists you do not find every day life in an Italian city here
Germany
Wonderful little old town, ideal location - as a starting point for sightseeing (Pisa, Firenze, ...), hiking (Alpi Apuane), sea ...
