Starting from Brindisi, a small and delightful town on the Adriatic Sea will make you live an immersive experience in the most authentic atmospheres of southern Puglia. The city, an outpost of Salento, is an anticipation of what can in effect be defined as a region in the region.

Brindisi city

Sunny, smiling, bright, open: Brindisi, the gateway to the East has always been an ancient portal for lucrative trade from the East and is one of the crucial ports on the Adriatic and a direct link with Greece across the water.

Before venturing out to discover the marvellous Salento, take your time to the city which undoubtedly deserves a thorough visit. Brindisi is a city already known in Roman times, as shown by the columns erected by the emperor Trajan right next to its wonderful port, where one still exists almost intact as a symbol of ancient welcome to sailors. In front of the sea, and the mouth of the port, there is a surprising unexpected discovery, an ancient castle, perched on the small island of Sant'Andrea where the light of the sunset enhances its vermilion red colour. This is the Alfonsino Castle, a magnificent fortress defending Christianity from Islamic incursions, dating back to 1492.

The charm of Brindisi is best expressed once you arrive in Piazza Duomo, a space of enchanting beauty where you have the feeling of stepping back in time among mediaeval residences, noble palaces, Roman architecture and baroque facades. Here stands the Cathedral, or Basilica of the Visitation, whose original structure dates back to the end of the year 1000, a treasure trove of art and history to be absolutely visited. In this city, where the port is king, the seafront becomes an integral part of it, follow it and it will lead you to Torre Guaceto, a protected marine area that will make you fall in love with the Salento sea but get ready, because the best is yet to come.

What to see outside the city, the surroundings of Brindisi

Open your eyes to the oriental light, breathe in the sea air and prepare your heart for emotions ... let's go! With your rental car, driving in the typical Apulian streets, you will be immersed in a countryside of centuries-old olive trees and along ancient dry stone walls, you will come across enchanting towns and villages, jewels of Baroque art in the characteristic Salento stone, old and elegant farmhouses with an intact rural flavour, and sea as far as the eye can see, between beaches of fine white sand and clear and crystalline waters. Take a trip to Ostuni to be blinded by the white of its houses, whose faces are painted in white lime and then down, pointing south, towards the "heel of the boot". After an unmissable visit to Lecce, Unesco heritage for the Baroque art that embellishes every corner and square, head to the seaside coast, here you will meet Maldivian beaches and countries of international fame: San Foca, with its crystalline emerald green sea, and Torre dell'Orso, a white rock overhanging the transparent blue waters. Art and nature meet indissolubly in Otranto, a town of rare beauty and famous for the imposing Aragonese castle and the ancient cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata. The sea, a wonderful constant in your trip to Salento, will accompany you southwards to discover Santa Cesarea Terme, famous both as a spa and for its grandiose Moorish-style Villa Sticchi and Santa Maria di Leuca, the extreme point of Italy, finis terrae as nicknamed by the Romans, a pearl of exceptional landscape and architectural appeal. Here the two seas meet, the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian, a show between currents to be seen with the naked eye at Punta Meliso. Climbing, do not miss Gallipoli, its historic centre and the Caribbean beach of Punta della Suina up to Nardò and Porto Cesareo.

One constant above all: good food, from the very tasty stringy panzerotti of mozzarella to the crunchy friselle rich in fresh tomatoes and genuine olive oil, all washed down with the excellent wine of the many cellars scattered in the typical farms of the Apulian countryside.

As in many cities, the ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone) is also active in Brindisi, which imposes an absolute ban on circulation except for electric vehicles. You can get information by consulting the website of the Municipality of Brindisi. We also advise you to check the times of the paid parking lots on the blue lines that vary according to the area.
