Da Elisa Alle Sette Arti

BY CAR:

Motorway exit at Lucca; follow the signs for the centre and the railway station (stazione) ; from here, keeping the town walls on the left, take the road around the walls and after the first bend, turn on the left and enter Lucca through the white town gate Porta Elisa"; take Via Elisa until number 25, just 50 meters from the gate.

BY TRAIN:

You can reach us by foot in about ten minutes from the station, or alternatively you may take a taxi. If you come by foot, go straight. Take the pedestrian street (sidewalk) in front of the station. Cross the meadow (park) and go toward the wall. Continue on the path up onto the wall. Once you reach the top of the wall, turn right. Pass the lions on your right (whose manes look a lot like pineapples). Continue along the wall for 5 to 8 minutes. Take the first left, a slanting path down into the inner city. Turn right at the bottom of the slanting path. You will come up to the Botanic garden and see the street sign "Via Micheletto." Turn left on Via Micheletto. This street will curve around the garden to the right until it intersects "Via Elisa." Look across the street for Nr.25 Via Elisa. You've made it!

BY PLANE:

Pisa Airport is linked to Lucca by railway and Bus line. You may also take a taxi or rent a car. In this case choose the motorway A12 and A11 (change in Pisa Nord) with the directions Lucca-Florence. Remember that in Italy the motorway signs are in green.
