About Bari

Se Parigi avesse il mare, sarebbe una piccola Bari. That is, if Paris was by the sea, it would be like a small Bari. Bari is a city of great charm, especially the area of Bari Vecchia, the old town, which is the medieval part of the city.

Moving around

A good network of buses connects the city but to soak up the charm of Bari it's better if you explore it on foot.

Out & About

The old town was once surrounded by medieval walls, some parts of it still remain. It's the perfect location for walking. Within the walls, you'll find churches, theaters, squares and labyrinthine streets. This area has maintained the old medieval appearance and it also preserves its charm. Another great place to go is the promenade where, in the mornings, you can watch the fishermen unload their catch in the old port. The Basilica of San Nicola is the symbol of the city of Bari and, together with its square, is the heart of Old Town. It's said that the basilica was built to house the remains of St. Nicholas, aka Santa Claus. Another symbol of the city is the Petruzzelli theater.

What's going on in

The Fiera del Levante is held every year in September, near the new port.

In May, the Festival of the Passage of the Relics is celebrated, a huge folk and religious festival which depicts the story of St. Nicholas; people dress up in medieval clothes.

Each year in June, a festival of Mediterranean music takes place.

Shopping

In Via Sparano, a pedestrian street, you'll find the top designer stores. Another good shopping area is Corso Cavour and Via Manzoni.

What's cooking?

You cannot leave Bari without trying the delicious burrata cheese, the great variety of seafood and the typical orecchiete con cima di rape.

Weather

Bari's climate is typically Mediterranean with hot summers and mild winters. The rains in this part of Italy are scarce.

So...

Bari is a coastal city with an interesting historic center. It's easily accessible, and it's a good base to explore the Puglia, the region located in the heel of the Italian boot.
