BEFORE YOU GO

A well-planned trip.

Getting around

Bari can be explored comfortably on foot, especially between the Murat district, the seafront, and Bari Vecchia, where many streets are narrow or pedestrian-only. For longer trips, you can use AMTAB city buses; check updated routes and timetables before you go. From the central station, trains and buses depart for the airport, as well as regional connections to other towns and cities in Puglia. If you arrive by car, keep in mind that parking near the center can be difficult and check the restricted traffic zones.

When to go

Spring and early autumn are generally the most pleasant times to explore the city: temperatures are mild and the days invite you to stroll along the seafront. Summer brings a lively atmosphere and chances to go swimming, but it can be very hot and crowded. In winter the weather is often quieter, although rain and wind are possible.

Where to eat

To sample Bari’s cuisine, look for trattorias and bakeries in the old town and nearby neighborhoods: specialties include orecchiette with turnip greens, Bari-style focaccia, panzerotti, and rice, potatoes and mussels. Along the seafront and near the port, you’ll also find places serving fish and seafood. For a casual meal, try the focaccerie and bakeries popular with locals; service hours can vary, so it’s best to check in advance.

Quick tips

  1. In Bari Vecchia, respect the life of the neighborhood: keep your voice down and ask permission before photographing people.
  2. Wear comfortable shoes: the old town is best explored on foot, and some alleys have uneven paving.
  3. In summer, bring water, a hat, and sunscreen, especially during the hottest hours.
  4. If you want to visit other towns in Puglia, check train and bus schedules in advance: frequencies and connections can vary.
