Itinerary
Try the advantage of our private guided tour in Bari with a local guide just for you or your group. Visit the historic town "Bari vecchia" where time seems to have stopped and where ancient traditions are still alive. Bari, Capital of Apulia, relies on the presence of the San Nicola Basilica, a major example of Apulian Romanesque architecture. The Basilica is one of the most important place for worship in the world, where Catholic and Orthodox both pray in the same place. There is one typical place where the time seems to have stopped. This area is Bari Vecchia where ladies are seated in front of their hourses every day to prepare the orecchiette, where children play in the street, where the laundry hangs in the sun and where the inhabitants are warm welcoming.

About Bari
Bari is the port city of Puglia on the Adriatic, with a maze-like old town, a medieval basilica holding the relics of St Nicholas and a long seafront.
Bari's old town, Bari Vecchia, is a tangle of white lanes and tiny squares on a peninsula pointing into the Adriatic, and many of its streets feel more like shared courtyards. The Basilica of San Nicola, begun in 1087 to house the relics of St Nicholas, draws both Catholic and Orthodox pilgrims, and the cathedral and the Swabian castle stand close by.
Top-ranked sights in Bari: Swabian Castle (Castello Svevo), Trulli of Alberobello World Heritage Site (Trulli di Alberobello), Piazza del Ferrarese.
