Lecce old town: arriving with luggage and a pushchair

Staying in Lecce's old town gives you more time to explore on foot. Arrival with luggage deserves a little preparation, however. The address of your B&B and the place where a vehicle can stop are not necessarily the same. Settle the final part of the journey before you travel.

Ask your host for the correct arrival point

Send your arrival time and ask where to be dropped off. Lecce has restricted-traffic and pedestrian areas, so do not assume every vehicle can reach the front door. Access depends on the street and relevant permissions. Share a precise location with the driver, preferably a map pin, instead of simply requesting the old town.

Prepare for the last walk

Ask how far the entrance is from the agreed drop-off and whether there are steps along the way or inside the building. Heavy suitcases and a pushchair can make a short walk take longer. If anyone has difficulty walking, explain their needs before booking. Do not assume either the accommodation or the vehicle provides the accessibility you require.

Specify which airport or station

Distinguish Brindisi airport, Brindisi railway station and Lecce railway station in your request. They are different starting points. Transfer Brindisi focuses on journeys starting or ending in its Brindisi operating area. For a Brindisi–Lecce transfer, send the accommodation name, address, passengers and luggage. A room booking does not automatically include transport.

Allow for check-in and your departure

If arriving before the room is ready, ask whether bags can be left at the property; this is not available everywhere. For your return to Brindisi, reconfirm the meeting point and be there with your luggage ready. Do not rely on yesterday's leisurely walking time: bags, children or rain can change how long you need.

Frequently asked questions

Only if access and stopping are permitted and practical. Agree the exact point with your host and driver.

Plan your transfer

Send your Lecce accommodation location, arrival details in Brindisi and luggage information. We can agree a transfer and suitable drop-off point.
