have you ever visited Brindisi, its center and its countryside? Do you know the surroundings of Brindisi? If you still don’t know them, you should, because worth a stop and stay.
\nHere are ideas on itineraries and places to discover in Brindisi in Apulia and its surroundings<\/h3>\n

A city where many travelers land in the popular Salento, port of departure and docking for travelers going to the Balkans and Greece, Brindisi has the charm of crossroads.<\/p>\n

But it is also a land that welcomes you.<\/p>\n

Its views of the sea and its historic and commercial center mix the charm of multiple eras and architectural periods that intertwine.<\/p>\n

Life in the port area is divided between a fisherman’s village on one side and a more relaxed and chic passage area on the other, with modern cafes and quays which then lead, through the mystery of stairways, winding streets, internal alleys of the historic center , to the most modern and commercial areas.<\/p>\n

The latter is extremely elegant and mixes architectural evidence from the Fascist era, modern buildings and Roman traces.<\/p>\n

A place of passage and strolling, the port area of Brindisi has a modern charm without giving up the authenticity of the ancient houses overlooking the water.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, therefore, the link with the more dynamic part is known; on the other side of the quay, the fishermen untangle their nets before returning to their homes.<\/p>\n

On one side of the port of Brindisi the industrial area is still present and visible, which gives a sense of reality and dynamic industrial life to a port that does not want to become just a tourist destination.<\/p>\n

Opposite the port, on an islet ( Sant’Andrea island), there is the Aragonese castle, a majestic castle-fortress built right on the sea and which, in turn, hides another small and charming port.<\/p>\n

The fortress commissioned by Frederick II for defensive duties is also called “land castle”, to distinguish it from the Aragonese (sea) castle.<\/p>\n
