Brindisi was our base for exploring Puglia, as when we were looking at flights, we found that flying into Brindisi was considerably cheaper than flying into Bari. So, rather than paying more to fly into Bari, we decided to make Brindisi our base and use the train to explore the rest of Puglia.

Monopoli is a beautiful coastal town with whitewashed buildings, narrow historic streets, a lovely old harbour and plenty of Italian charm.

As the vibrant capital of Puglia, Bari blends centuries of history with a lively waterfront, delicious local food, and surprisingly good accessibility. Whether you're spending a day here before heading to Alberobello or using it as a base to explore the region, Bari is an easy and enjoyable city to discover.

Lecce is often referred to as the "Florence of the South", but it's also known as the "City of Churches". If you're planning an accessible trip to southern Italy, here's everything you need to know about visiting Lecce in a wheelchair.

Is Alberobello wheelchair accessible? We visited Puglia's famous Trulli town to find out. In this honest guide, we share our first-hand experience, including accessible transport from Bari, step-free routes, cobbled streets, accessible toilets and what to expect as a wheelchair user. While not fully accessible, Alberobello is still one of Italy's most unique destinations and well worth visiting with a little planning.
