"Colorful Lucca My husband and I visited Italy in May, and one of our favorite stops was the charming Tuscan town of Lucca. After wandering through the town for a few hours we decided to climb this tower, which offered a perfect view of Lucca from above. It's well worth the many steep stairs it takes to get to the top. One of the best things about Lucca is how colorful it is - most of the rustic bulidings are painted in traditional Tuscan shades of orange, red, yellow, and orange. Lucca is a must-see town on any trip through Tuscany."

Great views from Lucca and surrounding area. The climb is fairly quick. I suggest you visit in a day that's not too crowded as it's very tiny up there and i can imagine queues forming pretty fast.

Fab place to go if in Lucca. Not that difficult a climb and really good views. I would check online for the tickets to see if busy. We checked and seen was not busy so just turned up and no problems.

A great way of getting a bird's eye view of Lucca and the surrounding countryside. The trees at the top are a weird but interesting surprise. Highly recommended.

When you are in Lucca, climbing the Guinigi Tower will give the most fulfilling view of the beautiful walled city. We were there on a very hot and sunny day, and the trees on top of the tower give a wonderful shade. We stayed until the sun set and it was wonderful.

Interesting with great views but very expensive. We were a party of four and decided to pay for just one of us to enter and take photos. Timed tickets would have been a better idea than overpricing the experience. I would not recommend climbing this on a hot day.

Amazing Experience! Visiting the Guinigi Tower was fantastic! The garden at the top is unbelievable – walking among trees above the city is just incredible. The view over Lucca is stunning, and the climb itself is a fun adventure. This place is truly unique, so make sure to check it out!

It’s the highest in Lucca so it has to get 5 stars. Enjoy the 230 steps and the a fantastic view from the top. Note that some of the staircase “handrails” are metal and they can leave an iron/rust residue on your hands and clothes if you are not careful, so bring a tissue or cloth, or just be mindful as you ascend to the top!

Great view on Lucca around, worth it, but price 8 euro per person just to the tower is a bit expensive, I think. However, I recommend it, sit a bit, look around, feel wind which cools and refreshes in very hot summer days.
