About this tour
This session walks through the formal garden of Palazzo Pfanner, one of the calmer sights inside Lucca's walls. You see a row of baroque statues along the main path, and potted lemon trees set against the town walls behind them. The camera moves slowly to match the garden's own formal layout.
We take a relaxed pace through the statues before pausing longer among the lemon trees, since the setting rewards a slower look. I explain the garden's original design as we go, and take questions throughout.
It suits anyone who wants a quieter, greener session inside Lucca's walls. It also pairs well with a session on the botanical garden nearby.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

The camera moves along a row of baroque statues lining the garden path, each representing a different figure from classical mythology.

A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Garmugia (spring vegetable soup) and Centro storico, worth a slower look.
