Lucca

My version of heaven looks very much like Lucca. It is a charming city with a divine wall encircling gorgeousness. When Napoleon took over Italy he was enchanted with Lucca and decided to give it to his sister - thoughtful, no? Luckily she appreciated this token of brotherly love and protected the city's charm.



The charm really starts with the wall. It is 5 km in circumference and is wide enough to drive on... but no one does that. All they do is bike on the wall. It's fantastic. I could stay up there all day. There are great views into and outside the city. And who doesn't love a little bike ride?
