Bari

Bari, a captivating city on Italy's Adriatic coast, is the vibrant capital of the southern region of Puglia. It’s a major port and economic hub that beautifully balances a rich historical core with a bustling modern metropolis.

The heart of the city is Bari Vecchia, a maze of narrow, winding streets in the old town. Here, you'll discover a timeless atmosphere and historical treasures, such as the iconic Basilica di San Nicola, a major pilgrimage site. Just a short walk away, the Murat district offers elegant 19th-century architecture and a lively scene for shopping and dining. Bari is also renowned for its culinary traditions, especially the handmade "orecchiette" pasta. Serving as a gateway to Puglia's stunning coastlines and charming towns, Bari is an essential stop for anyone exploring southern Italy.
