Historic Brindisi can be explored on foot, and there are many tourist attractions within the old city center, such as the Palazzo Granafei Nervegna at Via Duomo 20 for example. It was the former home of the Granafei family, whose coat of arms still stands in the central part of the main portal. Nicolò Granafei was Brindisi's mayor in 1534 and 1545, and the family rose to importance on the strength of that. The Palazzo is open to the public from Tuesdays to Sundays, from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm and from 5.00 pm to 8.00pm.

Although many of the tourist towns are connected to Brindisi by train or bus, hiring a car from Sixt at Brindisi Airport makes exploring far more pleasant and flexible. The seaport of Trani lies some 40 kilometers or 25 miles from Bari. The ancient city rose to prominence in the 13th century, but was already an important trading port in the 9th century. By the end of the 12th century, many of Italia's most important families had established themselves in Trani, which had become an episcopal see in the 11th century and was therefore a destination for pilgrims. The city had consulates from around Europe, and was once fully fortified with city walls. A 13th century fort remains, extensively restored and open to the public as a museum and performance venue. Quite a few of Trani's medieval buildings still line the Old City's streets.

Trani Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Pilgrim, a pious Greek who came to Trani on his way to Rome in 1094. He died in Trani, never completing his pilgrimage. Completed in 1143, the Cathedral consists of a stunning basilica with three apses, all built with local limestone that positively shines in the sun due to its white colour.
