Lecce is even more beautiful at the end of the day, when the slanting light of the sun covers the stone walls with an almost incandescent glow.

While the palaces and churches of the historic center attract crowds, the city also charms with its art of living and the joyful bustle of its streets.

The best way to explore Lecce is to get lost in its alleyways while admiring the treasures of baroque art that are hidden almost at every corner.

I advise you to park at the parking lot located next to the Lecce cemetery. It costs only 2€ per day and is situated 100m from the entrance to the old town.

The entrance to the main churches has been收费 since January 2021. A combined ticket costing €9 per person allows you to visit 4 churches (Duomo, Santa Croce, Chiesa Santa Chiara, and San Mateo) as well as the Museum of Sacred Art. I therefore recommend getting this pass because the visit to the monuments is very enjoyable.

Parking: parking is impossible in the historic center (reserved for residents). To park for free, stay in the modern part of Lecce.
