You can find the STP Brindisi bus stop just outside the Arrivals Hall. From Baggage Claim, you will begin to see signs for “Ground Transportation.” Follow these signs to the main exit doors, and you will see the bus stop in front of you.
Convenience
Since there isn’t a Brindisi Airport to city center train, taking the bus is the only affordable public transport option. However, there’s no storage on the bus, so traveling with lots of luggage isn’t a good idea. Furthermore, during peak travel times, the buses can get extremely busy and cramped, with many people left standing for the 20-minute ride.
If you have children or don’t want to walk on foot from the bus stop to your hotel, we recommend prebooking a private transfer with Welcome, so that you can enjoy a quick and relaxing ride instead.
