Top Local Tips for Lucca
Racism alive and obvious in Lucca Be prepared for stares and an openly hostile man at the bike rental shop. But the place is so beautiful - just pretend you are home.
Try to book ahead I fyou're 'winging it' be prepared to be disappointed. Also very hard to get around by car/bike because of the one way system. Phone ahead and check if the hotel has any rooms, it will save you a long walk!
Make use of it. Use public transport were ever possible. Trains and bus from Pisa Airport are very conveniant

What's prompted me to write this review, however, was an extremely unpleasant experience I had, and which is partly at least the hotel's fault. Upon arrival, the receptionist asked for our passports. I was reluctant to part with them but, as the receptionist assured me they wouldn't forget to give them back to me on checking out the following day, I went along with it against my better judgment. Sure enough, the next day, I forgot about our passports, as did the receptionist. It was only 3 days later, when we were in Cortona, a town 100+ miles south of Lucca, that it occurred to me we'd left our passports at Albergo Diana. Of course, this is also our fault but I fail to see why a hotel would insist on keeping such important personal documents (is it legal?) and why they don't have any system in place to rectify the problem of holding on to customers' passports, which is such an obvious accident waiting to happen: they could either photocopy guests' passports or ask for a mobile phone number or something so they have some means of contacting their guests in case something goes wrong. The reception did half-heartedly apologise for the inconvenience caused but they pointed out that it was also my fault and were unable to see how asking for guests' phone numbers might be a useful policy. I really didn't get the impression that they will think about how they can avoid making the same mistake in future so as not to inconvenience other guests in they way we were.
