San Luca Express
Description
The land train runs roughly hourly (with a hefty lunch break in the middle) from Piazza Maggiore along the length of the San Luca portico to the basilica. A multi-lingual commentary tells you some of the important history and mythology around both the portico, the basilica and the icon it contains. The service is run as a hop-on-hop-off service so you can get on and off at various stops along the way, though in practice most people catch it up to San Luca and get off their, returning on the service an hour later.
