Lecce - Salento Region - [Things to do in Lecce] Puglia - Travel Guide
Lecce is the provincial capital of Puglia in the southern region of Salento. There are loads of things to do in Lecce, it's full of baroque and roman architecture and an excellent walking city. Often referred to as the Florence of the south, Lecce epitomises everything so beautiful about this region. The old town at night has a party vibe. The whole of Lecce seems to descend on the old town. Walking around the alleyway streets in the golden yellow lighting with stunning buildings and historical sights at every turn make it a joy to explore. We stayed for two days. If you can't, then make sure you are here at night to experience the best of Lecce.
Our travel guide is a perfect companion to show all the principal sights with some hidden gems thrown in along the way. It was a great ending to our 10 day trip to the Puglia region. Make sure you check the other videos in this series here:- • Italy, PUGLIA Travel G...

Lecce was a delightful place to visit. The architecture, winding streets, outstanding food and night time vibe made it a great end to our 10 days in Puglia. If you have not seen the others in the series, you can see them all now, in order on our Puglia playlist. kzread.info/head/PL7ZS1Ml0SItTHNbyld34_vflMBqJBEYsr We hope you have enjoyed this series and it's given you lots of ideas for a trip to Southern Italy.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Lecce looks incredible. Definitely visiting Puglia thanks to your videos showing different cities and things to do great job

Only found your channel recently and do like the way you both present your videos. The commentary is very informative and your style of filming is easy to watch. The town of Lecce looks like one not to miss, especially if you can stay in the hotel where you did. Bellissimo!!!! We have visited Italy twice, from Australia, but unfortunately never had the time to visit the deep south. Have subscribed so keep up your good work, thanks.

Thank you for joining us and glad you enjoyed our Italian tour in Puglia. It was a wonderful trip and we were so lucky to get there during the pandemic. Leece is a superb place as was the hotel. The people are so friendly and the food in excellent. I hope you do make it to the region and can enjoy what we did. Best regards.
Спасибо большое ,очень красивое видео про Италию.
I have friends in Lecce and have visited the city many times over the years but each time it's just like I'm visiting for the for first time time. While you're in Lecce a trip out to coast is a good idea only 10 mins away and there's some fantastic fish restaurants there.
Greetings from USA. In May of 2020 myself and my wife were supposed to start our tour of Solento in Lecce. COVID put a stop to that! Know that it’s over we will be heading out on August 27th. Great video! We found it very helpful. Loved the hotel, it was where we were booked in 2020. Unfortunately it’s unavailable this year. Thanks for the tips and thanks again for the video.

Welcome 😊
I'm finally planning to travel again and have always wanted to go to Puglia, so I've enjoyed many of your videos very much, thank you. I do have a few questions that I hope you can help me with. I will be arriving into Rome, then planning to get to the east coast by public transportation -- probably fly directly to either Bari or Brindisi and use one of those as a home base. I won't be renting a car as I am traveling solo and don't want to deal with one. I plan to stay in hotels, not B&B's for the same reason. So I'm hoping that public transportation will work out well. I'll stick to the east coastline. I have 15 days for sightseeing. Would like to see Lecce and Otranto, Monopoli, maybe Train, Grottaglie and Vieste if possible. I'd like to settle into one town for 3-4 days and do day trips from there. It seems that Bari &/or Brindisi or Lecce make the most sense as a home base -- do you agree? Then fly back to Rome from ? I really really appreciate your input --- thanks so much for all of your fun and interesting videos -- giving printed info on the screen is especially helpful!

Hello, as you know we used a rental car mostly for our travels. The trains seemed to work well and pretty cheap. We only used the train between Monopoli and Polignano. I believe they have buses too. I would Leece could be a good base just because without a car it’s easy to get around and lots to see. We never stayed in Brindisi or Bari so cannot say how good they would be. One thing you could do is find a place you want to stay then before booking message them and ask about trips etc from there. I am sure they can give you advise. Flying in from Rome either airport is good, I guess it depends on price and flight times that suit you. Brindisi would be my preference as it’s right in the middle. Hope that helps. Have fun!

@@MemorySeekers Thanks for your prompt reply. Am getting a bit more info and making some headway each day. The planning is generally part of the fun of the trip! I'm rethinking the trip and may now stay in Monopoli for half the time and Lecce the other half and take day trips from there. I'll check out your videos again on Bari and Brindisi -- may only fly into Brindisi and not stay too long. I see that you've done a lot of videos on the UK -- maybe that and Greece (my first love) will be revisited soon! Thanks again for your generous spirit.
I just watched this video. It made me want to go there right away. Which month did you visit there? It looked very hot.

Dear Memory Seeker, grammar is one of my pet things. There is no “al” on the end of historic used in the context historic centre. Hope I haven’t offended, you are not the only people who do it. Cheers from Australia.

You are so right! Bari is, how did I make that mistake! Thanks for the correction.
Nice informative video except for the "Wine Tasting" bit. The locals depend on tourism for their bread and butter and if you give such advice, there'll be no more wine shops left. Another thing, please find out and say the exact name of the food that you eat. Saying something like wierd shaped pasta etc. is a lame comment. The least you could do in a travel video is provide the EXACT information for the viewers. I can't exactly ask for a wierd shaped pasta there, can I?
