Parks in Lucca

Villa Reale di Marlia is a royal estate set in 16 hectares of landscaped gardens and parkland just 8 km north of Lucca. The gardens combine a formal 17th-century Italian giardino with a Romantic-era English landscape park, creating one of Tuscany's finest garden ensembles.

The Orto Botanico di Lucca is a university botanical garden founded in 1820 by Duchess Marie Louise of Bourbon. Located within the city walls, it preserves centuries-old trees, medicinal herb collections, and a small lake with aquatic species native to Tuscany.

The Parco Fluviale del Serchio is a riverside green corridor running along the Serchio River just north of the city walls. Popular with joggers, cyclists, and families, it offers a natural counterpoint to Lucca's dense medieval centre.
