The itinerary includes a loop between the streets, squares, gardens, and palaces of the historic center of Lucca and is completed with an extra urban stop at the Villa Reale di Marlia in Capannori.

Napp Lucca has been developed in the context of the project GrITAccess or Grand Tyrrhenian Accessible. The project is the result of the collaboration of 14 partners from the 5 regions of the transboundary space, most of them have already collaborated on previous programming projects such as Itercost, For Access, Bonesprit, Arcipelago Mediterraneo and Accessit. Its objective is to initiate the implementation of various forms of the cultural heritage of this large territory within the framework of local thematic routes and routes within a large cross-border route, for the development of tourism which makes the cultural heritage accessible to the greatest number and which enhances it economically.
