Travel tips for Brindisi, Italy:
The city was important in times in war, such as World War II. You’ll notice this when you see the various lookout points, castles and forts.
Due to local safety regulations guests are not permitted to walk inside the port of Brindisi. A free shuttle bus service was provided to take you between the ship and the city center.
Don’t forget to pick up a map at the excursion office. The map they have here is faded. Here are some of the places you can visit.
You don’t need a city tour guide for this town. It’s really small and walkable. I would recommend booking a tour to Lecce. It’s 40 minutes away from Brindisi. The cruise offered a tour for 58.90 euros a person. I didn’t go personally but this town was pretty boring so I feel like any other place might have been better than here.
It’s pretty useless to get dropped off here at 2 when everything is closed for riposo (rest time). The siesta is between noon to 4. The only thing left to do is walk around and look at all the monuments.
The name Brindisi comes from the latin brundisium through the greek brentesion and message brenton meaning “head of deer.” Because of the shape of the port looks like the head of a stag.
Brindisi is part of the beautiful Salento region – the “heel” of the Italian boot. This city is a major port for trade with Greece and the Middle East. Brindisi was an ancient Greek settlement predating the Roman expansion.
Top Sights in Brindisi:
1) Brindisi Cathedral is the main religious structure in the city
2) The Monument to Italian Sailors is one of the most iconic structures in the city.
3) Roman Columns: symbolizes the ending of the road. Only one column survived, and the top was replaced with a copy. The original capital is inside the museum of Nervegna. I’ll show you this later. The other column fell in 1528 only the base and a rock area is left. The other part was given as a gift to the city of Lecce.
4) Casa Del Turista (The Tourist House) This house is built on top of an ancient Roman ruin.
5) Ruins of the Roman Aqueduct - this is close to Porta Mesagne gate. The tanks were collecting drinkable water by means of pipes coming from a place named “Pozzo de Vito” The flow of the water through several tanks allowed natural cleaning of water by decantation before supplying it to town’s fountains.
6) Best Gelato in Brindisi, Italy: Bar Rosso e Nero. Get the Croccantino e Rhum (Crunchy rum) and Nocciola (Hazelnut) with panna (cream). Cost €2,50 = $3.06 US dollars.
7) Nervegna Museum - free entry and free view!

Places to see in ( Brindisi - Italy )
Brindisi is a port city on the Adriatic Sea, in southern Italy’s Apulia region. The red-stone Aragonese Castle stands on a small island at the harbor’s entrance. The tall Monumento al Marinaio d’Italia, a rudder-shaped limestone memorial to sailors, has sea and city views. Across the harbor, the Swabian Castle of Brindisi dates from the 13th century. At the top of Virgil’s Staircase are the Roman Columns.
Like all ports, Brindisi has its seamy side, but it's also surprisingly slow paced and balmy, particularly along the palm-lined Corso Garibaldi, which links the port to the train station, and the promenade stretching along the interesting lungomare (seafront).
The town was the end of the ancient Roman road Via Appia, down whose length trudged weary legionnaires and pilgrims, crusaders and traders, all heading to Greece and the Near East. These days little has changed except that Brindisi's pilgrims are now sun-seekers rather than soul-seekers.
Brindisi has een known as the «Gateway to the East» since ancient times, when it became an important port, first for the Roman troops, and later for the merchants of Venice. This port in Apulia even today provides important travel connections to and from a long list of sea and airports.
The shoreline is low and sandy for the whole stretch of coast, favored by a mild climate. Charming vacation destinations, along with one of the major natural areas of the region and an important spa, attract tourism to Brindisi's coastal strip, with many important traces left from ancient times.
Much of the hinterland is occupied by the Murge Platueau that, in the north, meets the Itria Valley, known as the Land of the Trulli. Cultivated fields alternate, in a mosaic of colors, with large expanses of olive groves, vineyards and colorful orchards, interrupted only by roads and sporadic clearings. Ancient villages dominated by fortresses and watchtowers tell the story of Frederick II of Swabia and the Angevin domination, but even more ancient testimonies relate the presence of the prehistoric Messapian Civilization.
