Bari is highly multifaceted city, and you really need to discover every single aspect to understand its true core. Known as the “Gateway to the East” due to its long tradition of trade, this capital of Apulia is rich in history: see with your own eyes in the town of Bari Vecchia and surrounding area.
Exploring the historic centre allows us to discover its most authentic character, with signs of its past scattered through the local alleyways and endless examples of age-old traditions passed from generation to generation. Then there is the famous Bari promenade, one of the most beautiful in Italy, overlooking the clear sea and the unique charm of Bari.
Today, this dynamic city, nestled in the heart of the countryside punctuated by white dry-stone walls, is an important university hub.
But it still holds dear the memory of its seafaring exploits of the Middle Ages, as well as its precious monuments and striking churches.
