How to book a taxi in Lucca
Updated: July 7, 2026 · Province of LU
To book a taxi in Lucca, call the radio taxi at 0583 333434 or use the appTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Lucca you can catch a taxi at the taxi ranks (Piazzale Verdi, Piazza Santa Maria, stazione FS) or by calling the radiotaxi service of the Consorzio Tassisti Lucchesi at 0583 333434; the appTaxi app is also handy. The historic centre inside the walls is almost entirely ZTL, so the taxi will usually drop you off at one of the gates or at an authorised stop.
