Brindisi is a beautiful port city located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea in Italy's Apulia region. Embraced by olive groves and vineyards, it's known for its ancient ruins, beautiful coastline, and delicious Puglian cuisine.

Getting There: Brindisi Airport

Brindisi-Salento Airport is the city's primary international airport, with flights from the UK typically taking around 3 hours. Many car hire companies operate from the airport, making it simple to jump straight into your Italian driving adventure.

Driving in Brindisi and Italy: What to Expect

Drive on the Right

Unlike the UK, Italy adheres to right-hand driving. This might take some getting used to, especially at roundabouts!

Speed Limits

Speed limits in Italy are typically 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on secondary and local roads, and 130 km/h on motorways. Always check for local signage as these may vary.

Parking

Parking is regulated by coloured lines. White is for free parking, blue is for paid parking, and yellow is reserved for certain drivers or services. Make sure to have some Euros ready for parking meters!

ZTL Zones

Pay attention to the restricted traffic zones, known as ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato). They are designed to protect the historic centres, and driving in these zones without a permit can incur heavy fines.

What to See and Do in Brindisi

The Roman Column

As a part of Via Appia, the road that connected Rome to Brindisi, this ancient Roman column marks the end of the famous Roman road.

Brindisi Cathedral

One of the most noteworthy Romanesque buildings in Apulia, it's a testimony of the city's long and fascinating history.

Seafront Promenade

A stroll on the Regina Margherita seafront promenade offers tranquil sea views and a plethora of restaurants serving Puglian delicacies.

Exploring Further Afield

Brindisi is your perfect launching point for exploring the wider region of Apulia. The historic town of Lecce, known as the 'Florence of the South', and the charming coastal town of Ostuni, are both worth a visit and within an hour's drive from Brindisi.

Final Notes

Exploring Brindisi and the wider Apulia region by car offers unlimited freedom, ensuring you make the most of your Italian adventure. Safe travels!
