About Welcome to Puglia

Welcome to Puglia is an independent travel website created to help visitors discover and plan a memorable trip to Puglia, one of the most fascinating regions of southern Italy.

From the whitewashed towns of the Valle d’Itria to the beaches of Salento, the dramatic landscapes of the Gargano and the historic streets of Bari, Lecce and Trani, our aim is to make exploring Puglia easier and more rewarding.

We publish practical destination guides, itinerary ideas, accommodation advice and useful information about beaches, attractions, food, transportation and experiences across the region.

Travel information you can actually use

Puglia is a region best understood one place at a time. Distances, transportation, parking, seasonal opening times and the character of individual towns can make a considerable difference when planning an itinerary.

For this reason, our guides aim to go beyond lists of attractions. Whenever possible, we include practical details that can help you decide where to stay, how to move around and how much time to dedicate to each destination.
