Car rental at Brindisi airport
In southern Puglia, a car is often more practical than public transport. The most beautiful beaches are often off the railway line and bus connections are not as frequent as in the Bari area.
A car is especially worthwhile when staying outside the city centre, travelling between several beaches, family holidays.
Public transport from Brindisi airport
There is a bus service from the airport to the centre of Brindisi and to the main train station. From there, trains continue towards Lecce.
The service is functional but the intervals can be longer, especially outside the high season. If you have accommodation further south, the journey may take longer and require changes.
Taxis to the centre cost around €15-20.
