Visit Puglia also by public transport

 

How to get to and move around Puglia with and without a car creates hesitation? Maybe you don’t know that you can also visit Puglia for itineraries by public transport.

In any case, it is strategic to start planning immediately the itinerary you prefer to follow. The information you find in the post may help you a little to simplify this task.

Both coastal Puglia and the more endogenous one are rich in locations to guide your itineraries. Moving independently by car or using alternative means is still pleasant and exciting. This because the apulian territory is not very large and its connections between cities and towns are efficient.

In fact, the major road arteries such as the A14 motorway; the 16 state road which crosses the entire region; the 97 state road called of Murge and, the 172 state road called of Trulli, will allow you to get anywhere in Puglia.

An important tip is to visit the sections of our “Activities” page, where you will find itineraries, guides and tourist organizations to get around by car by planning trips before the holidays. Doing so will save you all the time you will be able to make more constructive here! The other tip is to stay up to date by calling the toll-free numbers of the various public transport companies to get to and around Puglia or by visiting their official websites.
