Getting there

Planes

There are airports at Brindisi and Bari, both with regular flights from other European cities.

Trains

Puglia’s main towns and cities are connected by rail, though local services are often scenic and slow (www.trenitalia.com). Remoter areas, such as 13th-century Castel del Monte, require a car.

Automobiles

Car hire is essential if you really want to explore. Chancing upon remote villages as you drive along is all part of the fun.
