Lecce, dubbed the Florence of southern Italy, is a town of historic beauty and magnificent architecture. As you walk around the town and admire the structures, you will notice that nearly every structure has some type of cherub situated across the façade. The main attractions in town are Piazza Sant'Oronzo and Piazza del Duomo, as well as the most decorated and elaborate structure at the Basilica di Santa Croce. For first time guests, one of the best ways to be introduced to all that Lecce can offer is to take the tourist train around the town center. Lecce is also connected to Italy's mainline railway, which can take travelers on various day trips to different cities like Gallipoli, Otranto, and more. Explore the upmarket boutiques or antique shops, cool off at the bar, and admire the baroque architecture of the town during your stay.
