The Dreamy Puglia Trip - Without Renting a Car
You don’t need a car to fall in love with Puglia. You just need the right approach.
It’s easy to assume you need to rent a car to enjoy Puglia.
But after multiple car-free trips through the region, I know you can still have the magical Puglia experience you imagine and dream of, and that includes:
- Staying in & wandring through beautiful historic towns and cities
- Soaking up the sun on stunning beaches
- Stuffing your face with incredible regional food & wines
- Discovering lesser-known gems
- Enjoying the slow Southern Italian rhythm
Now, public transport isn't always perfect, and a car definitely gives you flexibility, but not renting one actually made me feel more free.
No stress about parking & navigating tiny Italian streets. No rental fees or gas costs.
Some days require a little more planning, but if you know where to stay, how to structure your trip, and which towns actually work well without driving, you absolutely can experience the magic of Puglia without a car.
That’s exactly why I created this guide.
I took everything I learned from my own car-free trips - the mistakes, the research, the routes that worked or didn’t - and turned it into a guide that makes planning your own trip feel simple and doable.
It'll help you:
1️⃣ Plan a car-free trip to Puglia a lot more easily (less overwhelm of figuring it all out yourself, more excitement!).
2️⃣ Make the most of the time you have according to your own travel preferences and pace.
3️⃣ Have all the info you need in one place instead of spending more time sifting through multiple sources.
4️⃣ Enjoy both the hotspots and the hidden gems, explore both the coastline and the countryside, immerse yourself in the local culture and history (or simply enjoy the views and vibe), and have memorable moments in Puglia.
What you're getting (you have lifetime access, including updates):
1️⃣ A ready-to-use map with 150+ points of interest across the towns I visited (landmarks, beaches, viewpoints, restaurants, and more) with relevant info and my personal notes for each spot.
2️⃣ A handful of detailed yet super practical no-fluff travel guides: Places worth visiting, how to get around in general, exactly how to get to each spot without a car, where to stay, suggested itineraries for 5-7-10-14 days you can adjust to your liking, and more.
3️⃣ A useful itinerary builder.
4️⃣ Option to send me a message if you have other questions.
5️⃣ Offline access with the Rexby app.
6️⃣ One free invite for your travel buddy.
Is this digital guide for you? It might just be if:
1️⃣ For whatever reason, you don't want to take a road trip through Puglia (don't want to drive, don't want the car rental expenses, etc.) and prefer using public transport. Yet, you still want to have beautiful experiences in the region.
2️⃣ You’re overwhelmed trying to plan logistics on your own and feel like you need an A to Z guide to exploring Puglia without a car with all the info (including the trip map) in one place.
3️⃣ You want to explore both iconic spots and hidden gems.
Because exploring Puglia without a car doesn’t have to feel limiting, and in some ways, it feels even better.

And if we haven't properly met yet...Hi, I'm Or!
I'm a blogger and content creator passionate about mid-range travel in Europe with extra love for destinations in Italy and Spain. I'm on a mission to help you make the most of every trip by traveling a bit more slowly and savoring moments & experiences instead of ticking items off the bucket list (despite having travel FOMO and always starting with a huge map full of places I want to see).
I'm an introvert and a highly sensitive person, so I see travel in deep and unique ways, I love my coffee and carbs, and I enjoy different types of destinations, from cities to coastal areas to rural regions.
