Although there is no wide shopping avenue in the centre of Lucca, there is one street in every city that surpasses the others in importance.

And in Lucca, that is Via Fillungo, connecting the area east of the main square , Piazza San Michele, with the northern gate of Porta Santa Maria.

Along the 700-metre-long route, you'll encounter dozens of shops ranging from luxury clothing brands to local food outlets and classic newsagents. Stroll along this always busy street and, about halfway along, turn to rest in the beautiful Piazza dell'Anfiteatro.
