Hip locals seem to bike everywhere in Europe. But in cities like Amsterdam and Paris, who has the time to worry about navigating through labyrinth streets without running into vendors? Instead, visit Lucca, a tiny Tuscan town just outside of Florence.
Lucca is still nestled within fortress walls of the Middle Ages long passed. Get off the train and enter the town through a portal two minutes away from the station. There are cheap rental shops immediately beyond the gate, with ramps leading up to the city walls just blocks away.
That's right—Lucca has turned its barrier into a walking/bike path. Pedal through throngs of Italians, peering over the sides to see orange-tiled houses and blooming gardens to your right and the rolling hills of Tuscanny to your left. In just an hour, you can circle the city twice and work up an appetite for dinner at one of many nearby trattorias. This evening trip is easy, fun and cheap, with a little workout, too.
