Lecce is a city in Italy’s southern Apulia region boasting many exciting things to do. Despite the city being less known than the Salento beaches nearby, it has a huge panel of Baroque buildings by its 17th-century architects; the central Piazza del Duomo, the Cattedrale di Lecce, The Basilica di Santa Croce, and the Roman amphitheater. A journey through the Province of Lecce will take visitors far away from everything they know; from prehistoric civilizations to the masterpieces of the Baroque architecture of the city, or the Salento surroundings and the clear waters of the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, where tall cliffs sculpted by the sea alternate with sandy beaches, green stretches of maquis and a small “Eden”.
Lecce is easily accessible by trains or by the airports in Brindisi (30 minutes by train) and Bari (2 hours by train) offering flight connections from London, Rome, Milan, etc. Then, it’s easy for travelers to access the baroque wonders of the old town but, to make their stay even better, a good and cheap accommodation in the heart of Lecce’s historical center is a “must” that’ll optimize the experience of the city. Check out the top places to stay in Lecce, Italy, that’ll enable you to access easily the wonders of the city.
