Tour description
Bari, the lively capital of Puglia, is a city of two faces: a maze-like white old town packed with tradition, and a broad seafront promenade opening onto the Adriatic. On this walking tour a local guide brings you into Bari Vecchia, where grandmothers still make orecchiette pasta by hand on the doorsteps and every corner hides a shrine or a story.
You will visit the great basilica that holds the relics of Saint Nicholas – the real Santa Claus – explore the Norman-Swabian castle, and follow the coast where fishermen sell the morning's catch. Warm, authentic and full of southern Italian soul, Bari is a place that welcomes you like family.
