I'm trying to book timed entry tickets for Guinigi Tower and the clock tower, but can't seem to do it online. I keep running across information about the Lucca Visit Card. My question is, if I get a Lucca Visit Card that includes both of the sights, can I climb the towers anytime I want or do I still need a timed entry? I'll be there June 2 (which is a national holiday) and June 3 so I'm trying to plan in advance.
Thanks for any insights you can share!

You can do it online, but not this far in advance. Right now, you can only book entry tickets for the Guinigi Tower for the month of April.
I believe this is the website for pre-ordering individual tickets for the towers.
https://cultura.comune.lucca.it/#biglietteria
The actual ordering pages are in Italian (Can't find a tab in English; have I missed it?) but just use an online translation tool. Tickets look to cost €8.00 per adult for each tower - which is quite a lot less expensive than the card, if wishing only to see these two attractions - and do involve a timed-entry choice at time of purchase. As mentiond above, tickets are currently only available through April.
The page for pre-purchasing the card does't appear to require booking timed entries for either tower: It's probably be just as easy to purchase it in Lucca. You could contact a Tourist Information Point with your question about the card just to be sure?
