The city of Brindisi is within a short distance of the airport, but there are also several other historic towns within an easy driving distance that present visitors with a large number of tourist attractions. The Puglia region's capital, Bari, for example is great for shopping and dining, entertainments and museums as well as art galleries. Bari is only about one hour's drive from Brindisi. Nearer to Brindisi, Ostuni is perfect if you want to see Puglia as it used to be – the historic town is brimming with fine examples of trulli, the traditional white-washed houses of Puglia that are so characteristic because of their tall, conical roofs.

Cisternino, Ceglia Messapica, Martina Franca, Locorotondo and Alberobello are also close to Brindisi and well worth exploring for their cultural treasures. The Regional Natural Park of Punta della Contessa, which lies between Capo di Torre Cavollo and Punta della Contessa is also a great destination for a day trip, especially for hikers and birdwatchers. The wetlands were previously used to extract salt, but are now a nature reserve that is home to many migratory bird species. The Regional Nature Reserve Bosco of Santa Teresa and Lucci, which lies along the famous Via Appia Antica, is home to cork oak trees, porcupines, dormice and hares among other indigenous species.
