Spring in Puglia is one of the best times to visit the beauty our land has to offer. With the arrival of the beautiful season, the heel of Italy comes alive, nature and cities come alive to give a unique experience to its visitors.  

Puglia in spring means nature and relaxation!

Here are some places not to be missed.

What to see during spring in Puglia?

Puglia is a place where nature and culture meet, an authentic and wild place where you can have a thousand adventures. 

If you love to immerse yourself in the woods and take long walks, these are the must-see stops on your trip: 

• The Pianelle Nature Reserve, near Martina Franca, is a natural area characterized by caves and ravines. A land of brigands in the past, today it is the perfect half for anyone who enjoys hiking or biking;

• The Castellana Caves are rocky cavities of karst origin, a large rocky corridor 3348 meters long. Descend into its depths, follow the guided trail to discover its hidden treasures;

• The Scoparella Forest is located between Ruvo di Puglia and Corato, a vast natural park of almost 300 hectares. One of the very few woods composed mainly of oak trees (some centuries old). The ideal place for trekking lovers;

• The Mercadante Forest is an artificial green area, created in the 20th century to defend Bari from flooding. Today it is also known as "the lung of Bari," the ideal place for those who want to get in touch with nature and escape from the hectic city life.

Spring in Apulia is not only nature but also art and culture. The mild temperatures and low tourist numbers make this the perfect time to visit villages and towns. 

We recommend exploring the beauty of the Itria Valley. Trulli, countryside and ancient farms will leave you speechless.
