When to visit

The best time to visit Brindisi is during the spring and fall months when the weather is mild and perfect for exploring the city on foot. Summer can be quite hot and crowded with tourists, while winter tends to be rainy and chilly.

Getting around

Brindisi is a relatively small city that can easily be explored on foot. However, if you prefer to use public transportation, there are buses and taxis available for getting around. Renting a car is also a popular option for exploring the surrounding areas.

Traveller tips

Don't miss the opportunity to visit the iconic Castello Svevo, a medieval fortress overlooking the harbor. Be sure to try the local seafood dishes, such as fresh oysters and pasta with sea urchin. Remember to dress modestly when visiting churches and religious sites. It's always a good idea to carry cash for small purchases and tips. Be prepared for afternoon siestas when many shops and restaurants close for a few hours.
