  • filter_dramaUnderstand
    Lecce has been dubbed the [wiki=bbf5e1be3178100ef6a81c2e4ba0304e]Florence[/wiki] of the south. Whereas many people (not understandably) skip it in favour of the nearby beach towns of the Salento peninsula, this city,
    distinguished by its elaborate style of baroque buildings, has at least a couple of days of attractions worth seeing.
  • filter_dramaGet in
    Lecce is roughly 580km (although some older measurements claim up to 640km, depending on the route) from Rome.
    • By plane

      Lecce is easily accessible by the airports in Brindisi (30 minutes by train) and Bari (2hours by train). There are discount flights available from London, Rome, Milan, etc. For a complete list, check out the [url=http://www.seap-puglia.it/]Apulian airports[/url] website

    • By train

      There are FS trains from [wiki=332c9bb9d6cb3190693c6e2e6e4a14ce]Foggia[/wiki], [wiki=42dc29389d6318f0fe5b21396ce73b22]Turin[/wiki], [wiki=1f49f770adc6c84629f50ce3ca2a2109]Rome[/wiki], [wiki=866f0aee219a317e89a5909c9cc9e541]Naples[/wiki], [wiki=607d28488d1859e84884914a1b3598bd]Venice[/wiki] and [wiki=437d461430ecc08e2d51abbcf5ce9b3c]Milan[/wiki]. You can also reach Lecce by Eurostar Train from [wiki=7014d0181914fb4722b90a49d53f5471]Bologna[/wiki] through [wiki=ff8c7f043144676275d74d25a49d371a]Rimini[/wiki] and [wiki=0a26395cc43da0729c1b4211ae8cb413]Bari[/wiki]. Travel times from Rome and beyond can be long. Night trains with sleeping couches are available, and often a better bet.

      The trains arrive at Lecce station, 1km from the city center. Be aware that taxis anywhere can be expensive (expect to pay up to 15 euros to the center, especially if you have luggage items), so you may want to check with your hotel the public transportation options available.

    • By car

      The old town of Lecce is full of narrow streets which are barely suitable for driving. The City centre is small and easy to walk around.

    *Paisiello Theatre - Once the permanent theatre of the town. Founded in 1758 and rebuilt in 1870, it was opened with the performance of Giuseppe Verdi' s 'Un ballo in maschera". Because of its rich decorations, this theatre - which can only contain 320 spectators - is nicknamed "The wedding souvenir".
    *The Holy Cross Church - Is a symbol of the baroque style in Lecce buil in 1646, thanks to three well-know architects - Gabriele Riccardi, who devoted himself to the general plan and the lower part of the facade; Francesco Antonio Zimbalo who made the twin column porch and the portal aside; Cesare Penna who conceived the high level of the facade. The big Romanesque central rose window, the rich frame, the four columns, and the niches as well as the telamons, the imaginay creatures, the animals, the mythological and historical characters of the facade are all what makes this church unique and renowned over the world.

      Joyce Vineria/Enoteca, Via Umberto I, 4, Lecce, Tel. 0832 279443
      ** Delicious "cucina tipica" food served with aplomb in a small restaurant in the old city. Many inventive and interesting recipes, plus a large and relatively inexpensive selection of regional and national wines. A terrific choice in the old city, where many restaurants are aimed at tourists and are of limited quality.
