#touristsfromhome

We know, this is not the right time for suitcases, trains and planes, the choice between a hotel or a B&B, but nothing prevents us from "traveling" together, while staying at home.

There are many great little things still to be discovered ... comfortably seated on your sofa.

On this page we will try to report the initiatives that from the buildings and streets of the city have moved  ... online. Events that now make us all citizens of the world and tourists at home.

Dear #touristsfromhome, get a seat and enjoy!

 

 

this week...

Are you sure you know every detail of Lucca, of its splendid hills, the paths crossing the plain of Lucca, the most appetizing recipes? You can test yourself. On FB Luccaturismo we publish unusual images of the most secret places in Lucca every day together with guided tours and the stories of the tourist guides of Lucca. Follow us!

You live in Lucca, but you don't have time for museum visits. You have already been to Lucca, but you would like to find a good reason to return. It's time to invite you on a discovery journey.

On the Turislucca You tube channel you can participate in guided tours of the most important monuments of the city and discover secret corners of the city to be visited next time feeling at ease like a real local.

A museum dedicated to the internal combustion engine... or a large aristocratic palace entirely decorated with ancient silks... the largest collection of Lombard pergolas in the world... or a small museum run by enthusiastic young people... on our You Tube channel Turismo.Lucca you can take a tour of the city's museums, from the best known to the most particular ones.

Guided by the voice of Sandra Tedeschi places full of history, some of them closed to the public, can be discovered in an exciting virtual tour in the former psychiatric hospital of Maggiano.  

Other initiatives throughout Tuscany on the regional platform Culture is network and on the YouTube channel by Mibaact inviting you to make a Tuscany tour through 49 museums.
