Rent a Foggia
Situated in the heart of the Tavoliere delle Puglie, Foggia offers many places of interest in its historic center: if you are planning a trip to Foggia, the ideal starting point of your visit may be the Cathedral dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary Assumed into Heaven; this majestic example of Apulian-Romanesque architecture, with its imposing façade and frescoed interiors, represents the spiritual heart of the city. Nearby is Piazza del Lago, a picturesque green space that is home to the characteristic Foggia Pond, a perfect place for a relaxing stroll. For history lovers, on the other hand, the Foggia Civic Museum is not to be missed: located inside Palazzo Arpi, the museum displays archaeological finds and works of art that tell the city’s thousand-year history, from prehistory to the present day. Walking down Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the main shopping street, one can then admire elegant historic buildings and trendy cafes. Just along the Corso, the Teatro Giordano, an elegant 19th-century building, offers a rich program of theater performances and concerts. Not far away is the Dogana Palace, former headquarters of the Royal Sheep Customs, a historic building now used as a cultural center and a symbol of the city. The palace, with its impressive architecture and ornate halls, is a place of great charm. Also not to be missed is the Church of the Crosses, a religious site unique for its Baroque architecture and striking gardens. This sanctuary, with its five monumental crosses, offers an atmosphere of peace and spirituality. Finally, a stroll through the narrow streets of Foggia’s historic center will allow you to discover picturesque corners, artisan stores and trattorias where you can savor the delicious local cuisine: among the typical specialties of Apulian cuisine you will find tasty and genuine dishes such as orecchiette with turnip tops, troccoli with tomato sauce and focaccia barese. There are of course no shortage of fresh fish dishes and delicious baked goods, such as Altamura bread and scarcelle, traditional Easter sweets.
Around Foggia, the Apulian landscape offers a rich variety of fascinating places to visit that span history, nature and culture. By driving just a few kilometers in your rental car from Foggia, for example, you can reach the Gargano National Park, a protected area of outstanding natural beauty. Here visitors can explore dense forests such as the Foresta Umbra and enjoy breathtaking views of the rugged coastline of the Gargano promontory, where enchanting beaches and hidden coves offer moments of relaxation. Another must-see destination is Monte Sant’Angelo, a medieval village located on the slopes of the Gargano. Its main attraction is the Sanctuary of St. Michael the Archangel, a UNESCO World Heritage pilgrimage site famous for its sacred cave. The nearby town of San Giovanni Rotondo then attracts thousands of pilgrims each year thanks to the Sanctuary of Padre Pio, dedicated to the famous Capuchin saint. For those who love history and archaeology, however, a visit to the Herdonia Archaeological Park, located near Ordona, is a must. Here, you can admire the remains of a Roman city, with its paved streets, forum and baths offering a fascinating plunge into the past. Among the destinations easily reached by renting a car in Foggia is the city of Lucera, which boasts a magnificent Swabian-Angevin castle built by Frederick II and the imposing Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.

Finally, the small town of Troia is worth a visit for its extraordinary Cathedral, a masterpiece of Apulian-Romanesque architecture, famous for its eleven-ray rose window. The town is also known for its production of Nero di Troia wine, an excellent local red wine absolutely worth trying if you decide to take an on-the-road trip to Foggia.
