Itinéraire
Depart comfortably from Matera for a half-day tour to discover Bari. Drop off in Bari: Largo Eroi del Mare (near the Teatro Margherita).
Meet your guide and group fellows at our headquarters in Strada Vallisa 81 in Bari Vecchia.
Start your guided tour from the square at the border of the medieval district and one of the Bari ports. From here, you will walk up to Piazza Mercantile.
Once in the heart of Bari's "dolce vita", you will enter the Nicolaian district, where the majestic Basilica of San Nicola stands.
Enjoy the visit to the marvelous Basilic of San Nicola - an important pilgrimage site, especially following the fall of communist regimes.
Our next stop is the monumental Cathedral of San Sabino, where you can admire the highest bell tower in Bari. The historic "Marnarid" grocery store - active since 1866 - is another pit stop near the Cathedral that will let you step back in time.
Afterward, the walk takes you to the impressive Norman-Swabian Castle, a medieval fortress that offers a fascinating look into history, for a panoramic visit.
Just in front of the Castle, crossing the arch named "Strada Arco Basso", you will enter the most well-known streets in Bari. Here, you will observe the authentic life bustling through the alleys, while the smiling and experienced women are creating homemade traditional pasta named "orecchiette".
Treat yourself to the traditional "focaccia" that will be offered to you at the end of the tour. If the focaccia is not available for any reason, you will be pampered with the homemade gelato.
Return to Largo Eroi del Mare (near the Teatro Margherita) to head back to Matera.

About Matera
Matera is a southern Italian city of ancient cave dwellings carved into a ravine, a UNESCO-listed maze of stone houses, rock churches and stepped lanes.
Matera, in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, is built above a deep ravine, and its old districts, the Sassi, are cave houses and stone buildings stacked down the cliff. People have lived here since prehistory, and until the 1950s many families still occupied the caves, before they were moved to new housing. The Sassi were listed by UNESCO in 1993, and the cathedral crowns the rock between the two districts, Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso.
Top-ranked sights in Matera: Sassi di Matera, Murgia National Park (Parco della Murgia Materana), Madonna delle Virtù Church (Chiesa di Madonna delle Virtù).
