About this guide

Bari is usually the first stop: this is where the flights land. Many people just drive through, but the old town, Bari Vecchia, is worth a whole day.

This guide takes you on a walking loop so you never retrace your steps: where to leave the car outside the ZTL zone, which churches to see and what to eat standing in the street.

What you’ll see

  • Bari Vecchia loop in 3–4 hours
  • Basilica of Saint Nicholas and its crypt
  • Arco Basso, the street where orecchiette are made
  • Where to eat focaccia, panzerotti and sgagliozze
