An ancient Greek city of Messapian origins, Brindisi has been a place of culture and commerce for over two thousand years. Located in the deep south of Italy, and right in the heart of the Mediterranean, it is bursting with first-rate attractions such as the 11th-century cathedral built in the Romanesque style located on the main square - the Piazza Duomo. Completed in 1720, the Archbishop's Palace nearby also houses the Diocesan Museum Giovanni Tarantini and the prestigious Archbishop Library Annibale De Leo. The city's Archaeological Museum is a major tourist attraction featuring a vast collection of Roman artefacts, including baths, temples, theatres and several rare Imperial Age sculptures. Visitors with a car hire in Brindisi are well placed for exploring the surrounding Puglia region of southern Italy, an area that skirts the Adriatic Sea and is particularly famous for its traditional Italian cuisine. A road-trip to the regional capital of Bari is an absolute must, with an essential lunch stopover at the fishing town of Polignano a Mare en route.
Auto Europe has been one of the world's leading car hire companies since 1954 and today provides travellers with a reliable low-cost vehicle rental service at more than 24,000 locations in over 180 destinations worldwide. By collaborating with all the top global car hire providers, including Europcar, Avis, Budget, Europcar, National, Budget and Alamo, we always provide the best type of car whatever the location, and always at the cheapest price.
