As in most European countries, driving in Italy is on the right side, contrary to the left-side driving in the UK. The minimum age for hiring a car is 21 years, and an International Driving Permit is occasionally required along with your UK charity. Car hire companies in Lecce include renowned brands like Hertz, Europcar, and Avis. A compact car is recommended as it is easy to park and fit in Lecce's narrow streets.

Parking and Traffic Rules

In Lecce, as well as in many historic Italian cities, there are limited traffic zones (ZTLs) in the city center. To avoid fines, it's safer to park in a designated car park outside the ZTLs and walk or take public transport to the city centre. Remember that speed limits vary depending on the type of road, usually 130km/h on highways and 50km/h in urban areas.

Attractions and Sightseeing

Discover Historic Lecce

Famous for its Baroque architecture, Lecce offers attractions like the Santa Croce Basilica and the Lecce Cathedral. Don't miss the 'Anfiteatro Romano', a roman amphitheater discovered in the heart of the city.

Experience Salento Beaches

Enjoy a short drive from Lecce to the coastline, where you can experience stunning crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches. Popular seaside resorts include Porto Cesareo, Torre dell'Orso, and Otranto.

Local Currency and Climate

Dealing with Euros

The currency in Italy is the Euro (€). You're likely to get a better exchange rate when you take out cash in Italy rather than exchanging money in the UK before your travel. Credit cards are widely accepted, but having some cash handy for smaller establishments or markets is a good idea.

Weather Guide

In Lecce, you can expect a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. July and August are the hottest months, often reaching above 30°C, perfect for a beach getaway. If you prefer milder temperatures, visit Lecce in spring (April-June) or autumn (September-November).

Surrounding Cities and Transport Network

Exploring Apulia

Lecce's location makes it a great base for exploring the region. Drive your hired car to the nearby beautiful town of Gallipoli or visit the Trulli houses in Alberobello, both within an hour's drive from Lecce.

Lecce's Transport Links

The nearest international airport is Brindisi Airport, approximately 47km away. Lecce is also well connected with the rest of Italy by rail, and there's also a good network of local buses. Yet, hiring a car gives you the freedom to explore and discover this beautiful region at your own pace.
