from Lucca to Rome. This is the most popular stretch of the pilgrim route
connecting Canterbury to the Vatican City. Crossing Italy's heartland, this last
section of the Via Francigena goes through two of Tuscany's loveliest cities,
Lucca and Siena, and visits medieval San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and
Radicofani. Divided into 18 day stages, the route is suitable for any averagely
fit walker. Full stage directions are accompanied by maps showing the route line
and the facilities available at different locations. Accommodation listings give
invaluable information on low-cost pilgrim hostels and where to stay. There are
useful city maps for Lucca, Siena, Rome and Viterbo, and a stage planning table
lists intermediate distances between accommodation, so you can customise your
own walking schedule. Containing a wealth of advice on planning, preparation and
tips for making the most of the walk, this is a must-have guide for any pilgrim.
