01 · Overview
About Bari
Authentic coastal capital where medieval streets meet fresh pasta and Adriatic breezes
Bari captivates with its authentic Italian charm as the capital of Puglia. The medieval old town of Bari Vecchia enchants visitors with its maze of narrow stone streets where local women make handmade orecchiette pasta on doorsteps. Home to the relics of Saint Nicholas, the city blends sacred and secular with equal flair. Beyond the historic core, elegant Art Nouveau architecture lines wide boulevards perfect for evening strolls, while the dramatic 16-kilometer seafront promenade offers stunning Adriatic views.
