On the coast of the Adriatic Sea in southern Italy, Brindisi is a joy to explore. With baroque architecture, ancient temples and beautiful beaches, there’s a lot to see and do around the city. As your gateway to the greater Puglia region, this is your chance to explore the olive groves of Salento, Gargano National Park and everything in between.
