Follow the brown tourist signs for “Antica Città di Luni”.
The museum car park is on Via Falaschi.

Search for “National Archaeological Museum of Luni” or “Luni car park”.

You can also reach the museum directly from the A12 motorway without leaving it. Use either of the two dedicated rest areas signposted “Antica Luni” between Sarzana and Carrara.*

After parking in the rest area, go through the dedicated entrance and walk 1.2 km to the archaeological site.

Keep the pass issued at the turnstile so you can return to the rest area. For information, call the SALT operations centre at 0584 909269.

From the southbound entrance towards Livorno, you can walk through a tunnel with an immersive video about the history of the ancient city of Luna.*


The Museum of Luni includes the exhibition building and the excavated remains of the ancient Roman colony dedicated to the goddess Luna.

You can take a shorter or longer route depending on your interests. The archaeological site stretches across the fields of the Luni plain and covers almost the entire ancient Roman city. We recommend allowing about two hours.

Pick up a map at the entrance. It shows the accessible routes through the archaeological site. Information panels are available on site, and you can listen to a free audio guide on your phone.

Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat to protect yourself from the sun.

For your safety, stay on the marked paths and do not climb over fences.
