Itinerary

Meet your guide, and then set off to explore the city’s picturesque streets and try the local food.

On your walk around the Old Town, you’ll visit the Basilica of St. Nicholas, dedicated to the saint whose legend became the modern-day Father Christmas. See the crypt where his holy relics remain, and hear the history behind the church and the city.

Continue to wander the authentic narrow streets of the Old Town and learn about its history and culture; The Norman Swebian Castle hosts the collection of plaster casts

and temporary art exhibitions.

The cathedral is the seat of the Archbishop of Bari-Bitonto, dedicated to Saint Sabinus, a bishop of Canosa, whose relics were brought here in the 9th century. Here you will appreciate underground roman walls named Succorpo.

Piazza Ferrarese has always been one of the access points to the old town which, with its narrow streets, alleys and small openings, extends from Piazza Ferrarese - Piazza Mercantile up to the Normanno -Svevo castle.

During recent restoration, which involved not only the square but also the surrounding buildings, a short stretch of the ancient Via Appia – Traiana came to light, built by the Romans in the early second century A.D.

The piazza has always represented the heart of commercial and administrative activities in the city due to the presence of the city market (not currently in this area) and of the palazzo Sedile, which is the historical reference point of Bari city Hall. Today, for the citizens of Bari it is an irreplaceable meeting point.
