Popular Tour Itineraries Featuring Lecce

Lecce offers a variety of options that cater to different budgets. Dining out is generally affordable, with meals at local trattorias and cafes costing around €15-€25 per person. For a more upscale dining experience, prices can range from €30 to €50 or more per person. Attractions in Lecce, such as historical sites and churches, are often free or have a small entrance fee of around €3-€10. Overall, Lecce is considered reasonably priced, especially when compared to more tourist-heavy cities in Italy.

Lecce is considered a very safe city for tourists. It has a low crime rate, and locals are friendly and welcoming. As with any destination, it's always a good idea to stay aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas or at night. The historic center, where most of the attractions are located, is well-maintained and safe to explore on foot. While petty theft can occur in tourist areas, like in any city, it’s generally a peaceful and secure place to visit.

Lecce offers a good variety of options for people with dietary restrictions. Many restaurants provide gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan dishes. You can find gluten-free pasta or pizza, and some places even have plant-based alternatives. Most restaurants are accommodating, so it's easy to find options to suit your needs. Just let the staff know about any restrictions, and they will do their best to help.

Although Lecce is a small city, we recommend spending two nights to fully enjoy the town and its surroundings, as well as take a day trip to nearby places like Alberobello or Monopoli.
