Lucca Antiques market takes place over the weekend on the 3rd Sunday of every month & takes place in the middle of the town. It is really good, selling some lovely items from jewellery to furniture. I would recommend a very slow casual walk around (2-3 hours) .

If you aren’t around on the 3rd weekend then it takes place nearby on the other weekends in Tuscany, but Lucca is a great backdrop.

If you don’t have your dog, then bring a child – lots of wonderful gelateria’s nearby for emergencies

Even a bottle of wine for Dad after following Millie around from one jewellery stall to another.
