The best area to stay in Lecce is within the historical centre, particularly around the Piazza Sant'Oronzo and the areas immediately surrounding it.


This neighbourhood is the heart of Lecce, known for its intricate Baroque architecture, narrow cobbled streets, and pedestrian-friendly layout. You'll find many of the city's main attractions here, including the Lecce Cathedral and the Roman Amphitheatre, all within easy walking distance. The main thoroughfares, like Via Vittorio Emanuele II, are lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants.


Couples will find the historical centre particularly appealing for a romantic getaway. The evening strolls through beautifully lit piazzas and the abundance of intimate dining spots create a memorable experience.
