Discovering the Enchantment of Palazzo Vernazza

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, head towards Lecce from anywhere in Salento. Use the SS16 road, which connects major towns in the region. Once in Lecce, look for signs that point to the city center (Centro Storico). Upon entering the city, follow Via Giuseppe Mazzini until you reach Piazza Sant'Oronzo. From the piazza, take Via Vittorio Emanuele II and then turn onto Vicolo Vernazza. Palazzo Vernazza will be on your right at number 8. Parking in Lecce can be tricky, so consider using one of the public parking lots located near the city center, such as Parcheggio Porta Napoli, which typically charges around €1 per hour.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Palazzo Vernazza via public transport, take a train or a bus to Lecce. If you're coming from cities like Gallipoli or Otranto, check the local train or bus schedules to ensure timely arrival. In Lecce, once you arrive at the train or bus station, you can either walk or take a local bus to the city center. For walking, exit the station and head towards Viale Otranto, then follow signs to the Centro Storico. Alternatively, take a bus that goes to Piazza Sant'Oronzo. Once at the piazza, follow Via Vittorio Emanuele II, turning onto Vicolo Vernazza where Palazzo Vernazza is located at number 8. Be sure to check local transport websites for the latest schedules and ticket prices, which usually range from €1.50 to €3 for a one-way ticket.
