There are a couple of trains at least every hour from Santa Maria Novella and the train station at Lucca is centrally located near the San Pietro gate which is one of the main entrances into the old town. The train trip takes only about an hour.On the other hand, if you are driving, I would do Verona and Bologna on the planned two day trip. Bologna is a wonderful city, worth a visit as well and it would be on your way back to Florence.

I've been neglectful and failed to thank you for the reply to my posting back in May...thank you. It was most helpful. We'll still be driving near Lucca, but will save our visit there for a bus or rail trip. Bologna will also be a rail trip as i'm trying to avoid, whenever possible, driving in larger cities.I hope to grab more of your wisdom in the near future :)Smiles,Monica
