Question
How do I get from Lucca to Castelnuovo di Garfagnana by train and from Castelnuovo di Garfagnana to Levanto.  I can't seem to find Castelnuovo di Garfagnana on a train schedule.
Thank You.

Answer
Hi Frances. Check out this website for more information about the local train from Lucca to Castelnuovo: www.ingarfagnana.it/English/how_to_arrive_train.htm.

To get to Levanto, you'll need to return to Lucca and get the train that goes towards La Spezia and Cinque Terre: Check out this website for train info. The train goes directly there without changes, costs $21, and only take an hour and a half:
