There is a side of Lucca that you won’t find in the guidebooks. A city of whispered stories, unsolved mysteries, and characters who left behind intrigue, scandals, and legends.

During this 90-minute tour, we will wander through ancient alleys, elegant squares, and quiet churches in search of the city’s most intriguing and enigmatic side. Amid tales of ghosts, forbidden loves, Renaissance rivalries, and gossip that once circulated in the markets and aristocratic salons, we will discover a surprising and little-known side of Lucca.

Who still roams the city walls on the quietest nights? What secrets lie behind the seemingly tranquil façades? And what stories were whispered in the city’s streets?

This won’t be a simple historical tour, but a journey through mysteries, superstitions, and fascinating anecdotes that will make the historical centre of Lucca even more captivating.

An immersive experience rich in stories to discover the city from a different perspective – and perhaps a slightly more eerie one.
