Highlights
The guided tour in the historic center of Bari includes a visit to important places in the historic centre. During the walk you will discover the culture of Bari, its history, its folklore, its dear relics. We will talk about the Bari cuisine, its typical dishes, traditions and curiosities. You will get to know the historical figures who have changed the history of Bari. You will know the narrow streets that the inhabitants will surely know but travelers hardly know. The guided tour is carried out by a licensed tour guide with 10 years of experience. I am Belarusian. I have lived in Italy for 20 years. In 2016 I wrote and published the book «Tourist guide on Bari». In my spare time I paint pictures in a workshop of master Francesco Cacace. I planned the routes considering the curiosities and interests of the travellers. You will feel both the historical, cultural, but also traditions and folklore of the place. At the end of the visit you will have learned the life of Bari in all its facets.

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.
