Not necessary. Lucca’s old town sights are concentrated, and walking is the best way to connect places; arriving from the station usually means walking or a short taxi ride is sufficient.

Avoid prolonged exposure to midday sun; morning walks on the city walls are more suitable; use shade to rest in the afternoon, provide water regularly, and watch the temperature of cobblestones or the ground surface.

The estimate includes coffee and snacks, lunch, dinner, small admission fees or occasional transport, and dog supplies; excludes accommodation, long-distance transport, and high-priced wines.
