Discover the hidden treasures of Lecce, the "Florence of the South", by cycling through its picturesque streets, the ideal way to explore this Baroque pearl of Puglia. Renting a bike gives you total freedom to admire the ornate facades and historic monuments at your own pace, while helping to preserve the environment. Don't miss the spectacular Basilica Santa Croce, a masterpiece of Leccese Baroque with its richly sculpted facade, easily accessible by bike from the historic center. The Piazza del Duomo, a veritable open-air theater, will amaze you with its majestic cathedral and soaring campanile. The Roman amphitheatre, partially buried beneath Piazza Sant'Oronzo, bears witness to the city's ancient past and is well worth a prolonged stop. Local rental companies offer a full range of bicycles to suit all needs: classic city bikes perfect for urban strolling, electric bikes for effortlessly tackling the few climbs in the historic center, and mountain bikes for the more adventurous wishing to explore the city's surroundings and the Apulian countryside. Cyclists will particularly appreciate the small pedestrian streets of the historic center, ideal for discovering local craft stores, traditional caffè and artisanal ice-cream parlors. The mild local climate means cycling can be enjoyed almost all year round, and the moderate distances between places of interest make Lecce an ideal destination for urban cyclists.
