Start planning your cruise and book your excursions from Brindisi

The Italian port town of Brindisi, an MSC Mediterranean Cruises destination, boasts a characterful ancient centre, home to a vast array of treasures.

Sites such as the 11th-century Duomo and Alfonsino Castle are architectural jewels just waiting to be discovered. The perfect starting point for visiting other destinations, namely Lecce, Ostuni, and Alberobello, Brindisi delivers culture, colour and Italian romance along its palm-fringed streets and seafront promenade.


MSC Cruises excursions offer plenty of exciting things to see including:


• Lecce, the 'Florence of the South'

• Ostuni, the ‘White Town’ by the Sea

• Alberobello 


Discover beautiful Lecce, not far from Brindisi, on an MSC Cruises excursion. Affectionately named 'the Florence of the South', the town is known for its amazing feats of Baroque architecture. Take in the vibrant Piazza St. Oronzo, the ancient Roman Amphitheatre, the richly decorated Church of the Holy Cross, and the ornate Celestine Convent. Explore Lecce's labyrinth of charming streets before learning about papier-mâché, a local art.


Take an MSC Cruises excursion to the enchanting whitewashed town of Ostuni, a short distance from Brindisi. Its picturesque medieval centre overlooks an endless expanse of olive trees in the glorious Itria Valley. Discover brilliant white houses along winding pebbled paths and the 15th-century Ostuni Cathedral with its Gothic style architecture. Then, partake in a delicious olive oil tasting session in a traditional mill before a relaxing drive back to the port. 


Enrich your travel experience with an MSC Cruises excursion to charming Alberobello. Forming the famous 'heel' of Italy's boot, the town is resplendent with hundreds of iconic stone houses.  Known as 'trulli', these historical dwellings are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tour the streets to see their conical roofs, whitewashed walls, pretty pot plants, and trailing vines. Visit the trullo church of Sant Antonio and discover the fascinating history behind Alberobello’s magical architecture. Learn about the curious symbols painted on the roofs before returning to port through the countryside.
